Key Patent Strategies for Medical Device Companies in 20128:00 am – 10:30 am
Our panel will discuss how changes enacted in the America Invents Act and major court decisions affect patent portfolio management and litigation strategies in order to maximize value your companies’ medical device patents and other intellectual property. Using a series of scenarios from differing viewpoints – inventor, start-up company, investor and, finally, acquirer, the panel will analyze the important strategic issues to maximize value and minimize risk. Among the topics to be discussed are:
- Investing early to develop IP protection procedures and plans to maximize value of inventions
- Fashioning patent prosecution strategies, including amendments and continuation applications, that provide coverage over competitive products;
- Coordinating among legal, R&D, marketing and business development to inform the drafting of patent claims and protect against future claims;
- Developing patent litigation strategies that maximize long term value of a product line and company franchise without risking your patent portfolio and your treasury.
