Patents: realising and securing value
The conference targets key decision-makers in banks and other financial institutions; investment managers and venture capitalists; financial regulators; and government policy-makers. It will critically assess the challenges facing the financial sector in coping with the emerging opportunities and risks in valuing, trading and securing patents.
Keynote speakers will include Professor Alain Pompidou, President of the European Patent Office (EPO), Ron Marchant, Chief Executive of the UK Patent Office, and the Director for Science, Technology and Industry at OECD (Organisation for economic cooperation and development), who will speak about how patents play a vital role in modern financial relationships.
In addition, experts from leading financial institutions will speak about their own experience in this rapidly evolving scene, providing case studies to show the latest techniques in insurance, accountancy and valuation for patents.For more information, please visit:
