Foreign Filings, Local Partners: How In-House Counsel Can Maximize Patent ROI
Tuesday, November 11th • 12:00 PM – 1:45 PM ET
For in-house teams, the value of a patent portfolio is shaped not only by where you file but also by who you trust to file on your behalf. Translation accuracy, claim fidelity, and the quality of local associates all directly affect enforcement strength, licensing leverage, and valuation outcomes. Yet many portfolios are weakened by hidden factors—like associate selection driven by reciprocity rather than performance.
Join us on Tuesday, November 11 at 12pm ET / 9am PT as IP leaders Cary Levitt and Marc Kenigsberg unpack how jurisdictional strategy and partner quality combine to determine real-world portfolio value. This session will provide in-house counsel with practical tools to evaluate foreign partners, mitigate filing risks, and make defensible, ROI-driven decisions in global IP strategy.
