Description
This conference will critically assess the challenges facing the financial
sector in coping with the emerging opportunities and risks in valuing, trading
and securing patents. The financial tools used to protect patents and maximise
their value will be examined and appraised.
Patents are a source of revenue via licensing and sale,
are used as a bargaining chip in negotiations and are used to attract
external financing. Furthermore, patents increasingly appear as
assets on the balance sheet.
his event is a follow-up to the conference held in Berlin on 30
June & 1 July 2005. "Intellectual
Property as an economic asset: key issues in valuation and exploitation". It
attracted an audience of over 200 people, including some of the world's
leading policy-makers, economists and IP experts.
Objectives
