Join us for a panel discussion on the America Invents Act (AIA) at two years. We’ll discuss the changes and impact on the invention landscape as well as provide guidance on strategies for dealing with the changes. Two years have elapsed since the USA adopted the “first to file” priority. At the time experts predicted dire consequences for innovation in the USA and policy preferences for the status quo. “As a first-to-invent country, we have been the leader of world innovation, and those countries with first-to-file systems have been playing catch up,” said Senator Diane Feinstein. “I wouldn’t trade America’s record of innovation with anyone.” Has the change been as prejudicial to innovation as expected? Did the AIA create winners and losers? If so, who? And how? Learn: · About the changes resulting from AIA and what they mean operationally · Find out how others are adapting processes and/or methods · Best practices in the management of intellectual property and invention · Strategies for optimization of intellectual property (IP) processes under the AIA Who should attend this event? Technologists, inventors, investors, product or department Managers, IP managers and directors who are involved with driving the innovation efforts of an organization.
