2 INTRODUCTION The intellectual property landscape is changing with significant legal developments across the globe. Amendments to the America Invents Act (AIA), a more activist Supreme Court, as well as a raft of anti-patent troll bills are affecting practice around patents in the US and globally. Meanwhile patent reform in Europe moves ahead with the Unitary Patent and Unified Patent Court (UPC). The debate around definition of a trade mark continues and recent trade mark dilution cases have provided interesting conclusions. In copyright, digital liability is still dominating and copyright legislation may soon be changing. Managing IP s International Women s Leadership Forum will focus on these developments in the US and globally and will provide an opportunity for women in IP to hear from thought leaders on subjects such as litigation, licensing, patent protection, copyright and trade marks. This interactive Forum also examines best the importance of leadership in developing your career. It will feature leading general counsel and IP counsel who will share their thoughts and insights with the audience. Unlike many events that are aimed at only at the most senior lawyers, this event welcomes associates, senior associates and partners in private practice, and legal counsel, senior legal counsel and general counsel on the in-house side. It is a development opportunity for the next generation of women leaders. The aim is to provide an inclusive debate around building the talent pipeline as well as discussing the latest developments in IP.
