The purpose of this panel is to provide a practical guide to understanding the value of a company’s patent portfolio from the point of view of a variety of stakeholders. This is a multidisciplinary panel, bringing speakers with complementary areas of expertise to provide a rounded view of the methods applied and factors considered when patents are being valued and assessed in the global marketplace today.
