Sacramento Executive: The Business End of Patents

A wonderful opportunity to get smart about patents courtesy of the Sacramento County Bar Intellectual Property Section. And free wine too.

Intellectual property rights in today’s information age are not only extremely valuable assets, they are also tools used in a competitive business environment to both shield companies from their competitors' attacks and as swords to gain a competitive advantage. Sophisticated managers wield these tools adeptly. The fundamental changes in patent law in the last five years, however, has dramatically changed the way managers must think about protecting their company's products and methods of doing business. Join us for a discussion about those changes and how one renowned leader in the technology sector is adapting.
