In this CLE presentation, the Instructor will discuss strategies for identifying valuable intellectual property within one’s organization and how to effectively use that IP for the organization’s business goals.

The Instructor will cover the types of IP that exist, the approximate costs in obtaining/maintaining each type of IP, cost analyses associated with IP acquisition, licensing, negotiation strategies, enforcement considerations, and defensive maneuvers when confronted with others' IP.

At the end of the presentation, the Instructor hopes to leave each listener with some wisdom in the IP space and a practical approach to navigating internal and external issues involving IP.
