WOMEN’S LEADERSHIPF O R U M 2 0 1 4

JUNE 6 2014ESSEX HOUSE

NEW YORK

INTRODUCTIONThe intellectual property landscape is changing with significant legaldevelopments across the globe. Amendments to the America Invents Act(AIA), a more activist Supreme Court, as well as a raft of anti-patent troll billsare affecting practice around patents in the US and globally. Meanwhilepatent reform in Europe moves ahead with the Unitary Patent and UnifiedPatent Court (UPC).

The debate around definition of a trade mark continues and recent trade markdilution cases have provided interesting conclusions. In copyright, digitalliability is still dominating and copyright legislation may soon be changing.

Managing IP’s International Women’s Leadership Forum will focus on thesedevelopments in the US and globally and will provide an opportunity forwomen in IP to hear from thought leaders on subjects such as litigation,licensing, patent protection, copyright and trade marks.

This interactive Forum also examines best the importance of leadership indeveloping your career. It will feature leading general counsel and IP counselwho will share their thoughts and insights with the audience.

Unlike many events that are aimed at only at the most senior lawyers, thisevent welcomes associates, senior associates and partners in private practice,and legal counsel, senior legal counsel and general counsel on the in-houseside. It is a development opportunity for the next generation of womenleaders. The aim is to provide an inclusive debate around building the talentpipeline as well as discussing the latest developments in IP.
