1. USING INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY IN FORMING STRATEGIC GLOBAL ALLIANCES
GOAL to Organize the Global IP Conference and Exhibition in Dubai this September to discuss the Role of
Intellectual Property in empowering Companies coming into Global Alliances
DUBAI, June 20, 2014: Intellectual Property (IP) has emerged as a critical business asset. Consequently,
monetization, deal-making, financing and other forms of IP value creation are on the rise. From raising
capital to business growth to M&A and exit strategies, IP can be a driver in forming alliances and
increasing value for companies, investors and shareholders. The Global Outsourcing Association for
Lawyers (GOAL) invites you to join in-house and outside IP counsel, law firm partners, outsourcing
professionals and government representatives to discuss and share new tactics for using IP assets in
forming strategic global alliances – the platform being the Global IP Conference and Exhibition being
organized by GOAL in Dubai on 2-3 September 2014.
GOAL's Global IP Conferences create a global forum for lawyers and legal departments, legal process
outsourcing professionals and government representatives to network, develop business and discuss
trends, issues and opportunities related to legal process outsourcing. One must attend the GOAL
international conference to get the latest information about sweeping patent reforms and gain the
necessary tools for developing a strategic IP plan within these new patent regimes. This would prove to
be a great opportunity to learn from IP lawyers from in-house and private practice, government
representatives and outsourcing experts who are on the front lines pertaining to these changes.
