From the MIP Website: “The MIP International Patent Forum is returning for its sixth year to the Hotel Pullman London St Pancras on March 9 & 10, 2016.

“With large scale developments in global patent law coming into force, it is more important than ever to understand and navigate legal developments across a range of dynamic jurisdictions in order to build a robust patent portfolio. The MIP International Patent Forum will keep you one-step ahead on global legal developments including:

“European patent reform;
Post-grant patent proceedings before USPTO’s PTAB;
Patentable subject matter;
and in-depth analysis of second medical use patents in multiple jurisdictions.

“From trade secrets as a means to protect your IP, to litigation strategies and licensing in technology, media and telecommunications, this forum will provide strategies to deal with the uncertainties of patent protection, opportunities and challenges in global markets including China, India, Russia and Africa.

“Last year’s Forum saw 300 registered delegates come together to address the major issues at hand and . This year’s discussions will encourage the same high-level debate and participation, pertinent patent topics, and technical matters from the varied perspectives of a wide range of stakeholders.”
