Event Sponsors Making Real-Life Connections at LES Meetings As LES facilitates global IP commerce through education, networking, standards development, and certification, the LES meetings offer one of the most valued aspects - making connections with other IP professionals across the globe.  Arthur S. Rose of Knobbe Martens, an intellectual property law firm, has experienced this first-hand. "Attending the LES meetings and being involved with LES for over 20 years has provided me with the opportunity to make friends with a wide range of IP professionals in the U.S. and Canada, as well as in many foreign countries around the world," says Rose.  Rose isn't the only person to have a wonderful experience while attending an LES meeting. In addition to meeting IP professionals, Bob Held, CLP, Vice President of Intellectual Asset Management at TeleCommunication Systems, Inc., finds the session content helps in his everyday profession. "One of the key areas that I always look forward to are the sessions that discuss the changes in the IP legal environment," says Held. "From the recent court cases to pending legislation, the overviews and open discussions about how these events are going to, or will affect, my business is very important to me."    Exceptional Value at the LES 2015 Spring Meeting Covering a variety of topics, the 2015 Spring meeting offers the opportunity to extend your knowledge in the IP world and meet with professionals across the globe.
