Foreign Filings, Local Partners: How In-House Counsel Can Maximize Patent ROI
Event Description
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, Novemebr 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.
Key Takeaways
- Jurisdiction impact: how market size, enforcement climate, and competitor activity influence portfolio value
- The people factor: why associate quality, translation accuracy, and claim fidelity determine enforcement strength
- Hidden incentives revealed: reciprocity and referral dynamics that affect costs, partner choices, and ROI
- Avoiding common pitfalls: spotting over-filing, under-protection, and low-cost shortcuts that create enforcement risks
Who Should Attend
This webinar is tailored for in-house counsel managing global patent portfolios, including General Counsel, Chief IP Counsel, and corporate attorneys overseeing filing strategy, licensing, and enforcement. It will be especially relevant for in-house teams seeking to strengthen the commercial value and defensibility of their IP assets.
