IP law firms are well aware of the need to mitigate risks associated with the patent annuity business. While the nature of the risk is clear, many firms are still hesitating to get out of the annuity business. Why? The obstacle is often just figuring out how to start the process. With some upfront planning and a clear understanding of your objectives, the process can be made quite simple.
During this one-hour webinar, you will learn from industry experts in the fields of risk mitigation and intellectual property about relevant risk trends and best practice to safely exit the annuity business.
