IP Process Strategies For In-House IP Departments
Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008 2:00 to 3:00 pm Eastern Standard Time
The value of intellectual property plays an increasingly vital role in driving corporate revenue across many industries. This has resulted in more strategic patent application filings and a need for more value for money from outside counsel.
At the same time, many IP departments are being challenged to do more with less as a result of budget constraints and other economic pressures. They are seeking new ways to efficiently and cost-effectively maximize their IP department resources, while still maintaining quality and managing risk.
In this one hour Webinar, hear corporate in-house IP professional discuss IP docketing best practices and strategies to control and manage risk and costs.
Topics to be covered include:
- Corporate IP Department Best Practices
- Fixed-Fee Arrangements with Outside Counsel
- Centralized vs. Decentralized Docketing
- Docketing & Decision Makers
- Paperless Environments
- Leveraging Technology in the Docketing Process
