<p>About the Event:
In challenging economic times and as competition grows fiercer, many companies find that enforcement of their intellectual property rights is critical to their success. Knock-off products, often from companies outside the United States, eat into sales. But defending your intellectual property is not inexpensive. Three of Portland’s leading companies will tell you how they defend their domestic and foreign markets quickly, efficiently, and inexpensively, and how to make these strategies work on any scale.</p>
<p>What will you learn?
- How to diversify your IP portfolio to put your company in the best position to defend your markets
- How to use the laws of foreign jurisdictions to stop infringing products where they are manufactured
- How to use the fastest, most cost-effective IP enforcement actions available</p>
<p>Panelists:
- Tom Evans, Corporate Patent Attorney at Mentor Graphics will relate lessons from Mentor’s patent infringement lawsuit in China and describe how Mentor uses its IP portfolio to defend its markets around the world.</p>
<ul>
<li><p>Julianne Davis, Assistant General Counsel/Intellectual Property at Nike, Inc. will tell you why you should add design patents, trademark registrations, and copyright registrations to your IP portfolios, and how Nike uses its diverse portfolio to police its markets in the US and around the world.</p></li>
<li><p>John Motley, Associate General Counsel & Director of Intellectual Property at Columbia Sportswear, will talk about Columbia’s successful use of Thai and other foreign patent and trademark law to combat infringement where products are manufactured.</p></li>
<li><p>Tigran Guledjian, a partner at Quinn Emanuel in Los Angeles, practices extensively in complex intellectual property litigation with an emphasis in high technology patent litigation. Tigran will discuss his efforts on behalf of Seiko Epson and other clients to use the International Trade Commission to obtain and use exclusion orders to stop infringing products at the border.</p></li>
</ul>
<p>Moderator:
- Brenna Legaard is a partner at Chernoff Vilhauer McClung & Stenzel, an intellectual property law firm in Portland, Oregon. A seasoned trial lawyer, Brenna brings significant real-world experience to her patent prosecution and opinion practice and routinely helps start ups and publicly traded clients alike prioritize their IP budgets and cost-effectively enforce their rights against infringers.</p>

<p> More than just a hot topic and in the news, Social Media, led by its poster children Facebook® and Twitter ®, has quickly become an integral part of our society. While the use of these tools has become pervasive in our social interactions and many companies have integrated these methods into their outbound marketing strategies, there are fewer examples where Social Media has been used to drive innovation within a technology company.</p>
<p>You will hear from both the industry perspective and the media/marketing perspective on how companies are and should be using these new social media tools foster innovation on company products, services, distribution and customer service. They will discuss collaboration, creating community environments, data mining, facilitating customer feedback and how to integrate this information and collaboration into the company’s product/service development culture. Learn to balance the opportunity promised by Social Media with the real need to protect your Intellectual Property.</p>
<p>Join us for this informative breakfast meeting and learn how your organization can make the most of this powerful tool.</p>

<p>Treating the three categories of IP (trademark, copyright, and design patent) as individual strategies is one way of protecting your IP however these same three categories can be used synergistically to create a cohesive IP policy that will provide greater protection overall.</p>
<p>Learn from Craig Morris, Managing Attorney for Trademark Outreach United States Patent and Trademark Office as he kicks off the Trademark, Copyright, and Design Patent Boot Camp on February 14th. Craig will give a general overview identifying the differences between the three categories as well as domain names and business registrations. He will discuss the basic process and strategy for protecting each, review basic considerations for each, and discuss how they should be used collectively for maximum protection.</p>
<p>Additional Topics:
•To register or not to register
•How to enforce?
•Importance of selecting a strong mark, that is, both federally registrable and legally protectable
•Whether an attorney should be used when doing the initial search
•Potential grounds for the USPTO to refuse registration
•What may happen if another trademark owner believes it has stronger rights
•How to avoid scams perpetrated by companies the request fees for services not required by the USPTO</p>
<p>Concluding Craig Morris’s overview there will be three breakout sessions which will focus on how each category applies to one product, i.e. iPod, Nike shoes, Coke bottle, etc. The outcome of the sessions is to demonstrate how a design patent can and should be linked to trademark and copyright.</p>
<p>Small Group Breakout Sessions
Design Patents Session:
Leads: Katie Maksym, Nike and Brenna Leggard, Lane Powell LLP
•How best to cover a product design with a design patent
•What strategies can be employed to broaden and maintain coverage through small design iterations?
•Strategies for extending coverage for functional features through the use of decorative features
•Aspects of the design patent process that can tie in trademark or copyrights and how this can provide enhanced coverage of the product</p>
<p>Trademark Session:
Leads: Jay Rafter, Stoel Rives LLP and Nate Moceri, Stoel Rives LLP
•How best to integrate trademark into the actual product design
•Can the design itself be a trademark?
•Explanation of product configuration trade dress
•What strategies can be employed to broaden coverage and maintain coverage over time?
•Aspects of trademark that can tie in design or copyrights and how this can provide enhanced coverage of the product</p>
<p>Copyright Session:
Leads: Jay Smith-Hill, Lane Powell LLP
•Now that you have a design and trademark, how do you tell the world about it?
•How can the use of copyrights extend the reach of a design over multiple media outlets (website, marcom, YouTube videos, etc.)?
•Aspects of copyright that can tie in design or trademark and how this can provide enhanced coverage of the product</p>

<div class="description">
<p>Intellectual Property is a vital part of a company's value. Not only are Patent and Trademark portfolios crucial to protecting a company's intellectual property asset but they can also be a key revenue generator.</p>
<p>With the large growth in IP transactions and deals, companies are now looking at creating stronger ROI from their IP portfolios. As a result, IP leaders are being held more accountable for the revenue generated from their portfolios and companies are looking for ways to monetize their patents that would otherwise sit on the shelf.</p>
<p>Some companies begin their monetization process by developing their portfolios. Techniques such as brainstorming, patent mapping, core technology charting, filing decisions and continuance planning are some of the methods used to prepare for an IP monetization strategy. These steps should be completed before attempting to monetize any part of the portfolio. This seminar will explain and address these techniques.</p>
<p>The seminar will also assist you in creating an IP monetization strategy that meets your business goals. This includes defensive planning.</p>
<p><strong>Topics that will be addressed at the seminar:</strong></p>
<p>• How to strategically build an IP Portfolio
• Selection, analysis and valuation of targets and your IP portfolio
• Options for monetization
• Benchmarks of a strong monetization program
• Limiting the risks of monetization
• Defense posture and what you can do now to limit your target profile
• What to do if you receive a “cease and desist or infringement letter”
• Lowering legal and settlement costs</p>
<p><strong>Presenters:</strong>
* <strong><a href="https://www.linkedin.com/pub/steve-taylor/88/280/b3a">Steve Taylor</a></strong> , Principal, IPStrom
* **<a href="https://www.linkedin.com/in/joeshallenburger">Joe Shallenburger</a>, Chief Patent Counsel, IPStrom</p>
<p><strong>Who should attend?</strong>
