International Patent Forum Many questions have arisen for the global patent community. How does recent reform affect my patent application process? Where should I enforce my patent internationally?

These questions arise from the fast changing and increasingly challenging patent environment.

Controversies over compulsory licensing and anti-trust considerations, and the drive for cleaner technologies, are also putting the spotlight on the future of the international patent system.

2 International Patent Forum Many questions have arisen for the global patent community. How does recent reform affect my patent application process? Where should I enforce my patent internationally? What is the scope of my patent protection in China? How do I defend against emerging players such as trolls and how can I best manage my portfolio in today s economic environment? These questions arise from the fast changing and increasingly challenging patent environment. Business method patentability, gene patenting, SPCs, and trolls are just some of the new issues to shape the patent landscape in recent years. Controversies over compulsory licensing and anti-trust considerations, and the drive for cleaner technologies, are also putting the spotlight on the future of the international patent system. At the same time patent owners are searching for the best strategies to maximise revenue from their patents while pruning costs. Portfolio and risk management are now integral to a company s business strategy. The international patent system itself is also changing. With the emergence of hightech centres in emerging markets, Korea and China have joined the US, Japan and as the world s biggest filing offices. At the same time, there is a shift towards international harmonisation, with the development of systems such as the PCT and the Patent Prosecution Highway to streamline the patent process. Managing IP s inaugural International Patent Forum brings together international patent owners with senior advisers and officials to discuss the best ways to protect your patent, from filing to enforcement strategies and the latest tools in portfolio management.
