On November 16, Partner Gerard von Hoffmann and Nicholas R. Grennan of Suiter Swantz PC LLO, will co-present a webcast titled, "The Brave New World of Wearable Technology: How to Protect Your IP and Minimize Infringement Risks".

The brave new world of wearable technology features devices ranging from high-tech fashion and smart jewelry to wearables that track medical issues, personal activity, and sports data. As wearable technology continues to offer new capabilities, intellectual property (IP) protection remains to be a crucial aspect of a wearable tech development. Irrespective of the technology, all such devices need IP protection in order to protect the product, keep its competitive edge longer, and safeguard it from infringement risks.

In a two-hour LIVE webcast, the panel of IP professionals and notable technological and legal leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer the audience with a high-level overview of the competitive landscape of wearable technologies and an extensive review of IP protection. Speakers will also discuss IP and trade secret strategies in protecting the functional features of a specific wearable product and will then provide best practices in identifying and minimizing infringement risks of wearable technology.

CLE credit is available for attending this live webcast.
