Implications and Ramifications of the America Invents Act for Strategic Alliances DESCRIPTION
The America Invents Act ("AIA") represents the most significant change to the US patent system since 1952, and has received considerable attention. One area that has not been fully explored, however, is the effect the AIA has had and will have on strategic alliances, including mergers, joint ventures and licensing. The Boston Chapter of LES is pleased to sponsor an expert panel presentation and discussion on the implications and ramifications of the AIA for strategic alliances. SPEAKERS
