In many of today’s companies, IP are increasingly making up a significant proportion of a company’s net worth. Therefore a good IP strategy and IP protection acts as both a shield and a sword for businesses. The fora are also focusing on the increasing impact of AI on IP rights-holders.

Topics that are discussed are IP strategy, patents, trademarks, licensing of IP, standards, trends in various markets, infringements, cost control, procurement competence (of IP services), contractual issues and more.
