IP Portfolio Audits: Conquering the Odds in 2017 - Live Webcast
- - UTC
Description

On Wednesday, June 14, Knobbe Martens Partners Adam Gilbert and Stephen Larson, along with John Boyd of TechInsights will co-present a webcast titled, "IP Portfolio Audits: Conquering the Odds in 2017".

An intellectual property audit is a vital tool for a company to identify, organize and review its IP assets and potential liabilities. It helps the company protect its copyrights, trademarks, patents, trade secrets and other forms of IP, thereby enhancing its competitive advantage and minimizing risk of third-party infringement. More than simple quantification, a properly done audit can identify ownership and infringement issues. It can also assist the company in setting down efficient procedures for guarding assets, licensing intellectual property and assigning IP in employment, consulting and other agreements.

In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the essential features of an IP audit and give practical guidance on when and how audits should be conducted and on their depth and scope.

Key topics include:
  • Objectives of Portfolio Audits
  • Who Should Perform Audits
  • Purpose and Frequency of Audits
  • Event-Driven IP Audits
  • Scope of Audits; Assets Covered
  • Gathering Necessary Data
  • Methodologies for Asset Valuation
  • Identifying Ownership and Liability Issues
  • Audit Reporting and Action Plans
