Intellectual Property Management Roundtable:
Freedom to Operate:  The New Rules

Wednesday, September 17 
7:30 – 9:30 am

McDermott Will & Emery - Silicon Valley Office
3150 Porter Drive
Palo Alto, California 94304  

Program Summary

Corporate, intellectual property, and governmental regulation all influence considerations of developing a sustainable freedom-to-operate business strategy for a life sciences or medical device company. One misstep can be extremely costly to your company or its product line. Traditional notions of approaching freedom to operate in isolation from regulatory or corporate considerations have become increasingly outdated, being replaced instead by ongoing and multi-disciplinary risk management as a product is developed and commercialized.

McDermott Will & Emery invites you to join our panelists who will identify new trends and discuss the new rules in today's environment that govern the sustainability of your company's freedom to operate as a product moves through its development and commercialization cycles. Join fellow executives and in-house counsel as they share their experience and insights.

Highlights

  • The emerging trends in patent law that impact on opinions of counsel

  • New contours to §271(e)(1)

  • Recommendations for developing a sustainable long-term business model by integrating an effective regulatory compliance infrastructure into your life sciences business

  • Managing financing, licensing and partnering issues in light of the new environment
