Vegas | Marcus Evans IP Law Summit
Pleased to be back in Vegas, this time to participate in the marcus evans Group IP Law Summit. Corporate counsel, government officials, outside counsel, and academics gathered to discuss a wide range of practical topics, including developing a “five-star” IP portfolio, strategic budgeting, fine-tuning cybersecurity and data privacy measures and navigating the European unitary patent and developments in China. Congratulations to Ashli Thomas, Antonio Vann and the Marcus Evans team for putting together an outstanding event.
Halozyme General Counsel Mark Snyder and I sat down for a fireside chat on IP leadership – within the corporation, in dealing with the government, and when thinking internationally. We also discussed the importance of working within coalitions such as the US IP Alliance and working with academia to advance data-driven analytics in areas like IP and antitrust law.
On the sidelines of the Summit, I was delighted to meet with UNLV Law Dean Leah Chan Grinvald. Dean Grinvald continues to be engaged with IP issues, having returned that same day from speaking at the IP Owners (IPO) Annual Meeting on the right to repair. We will reunite for my vodcast series on IP and innovation leadership profiles. Stay tuned!
