WATCH: Intersectionality of Intellectual Property with Licensing and Commercialization

In today's global marketplace, intellectual property (IP) rights are not merely legal tools but strategic assets that can significantly influence a product's lifecycle, from development to market. This panel explores the intersectionality of IP with the processes of licensing and product commercialisation, emphasizing the importance of a well-defined strategy to protect innovation but also facilitate a path to market.

We will explore the interaction between patents and licensing agreements, examining how strategic IP management can be instrumental in securing favorable licensing deals, attracting investors, and gaining competitive advantages. The discussion will also highlight the importance of risk mitigation, particularly in avoiding infringement, as a key component of successful commercialization strategies.  Additionally, the panel will address the role of global pre-grant opposition, post-grant opposition, and litigation in shaping the patent landscape. We will provide insights into how these legal mechanisms can be leveraged to challenge or defend patent rights, ultimately maximizing the value of your IP assets.

By understanding the complex interplay between patents and product commercialization, you will gain valuable insights into effectively leveraging your IP portfolios for long-term success in an increasingly competitive market.
