In-House Intellectual Property & Technology Resource Kit

Summary

This resource kit covers issues and tasks commonly encountered by in-house counsel working on intellectual property (IP) and technology related matters. It provides guidance on managing an IP portfolio, including identifying a client's IP assets via an audit, monitoring application/registration status and deadlines, establishing an IP asset protection strategy, avoiding third-party infringement claims (e.g., by conducting the requisite clearance searches prior to introducing any new IP), and working with third parties to enhance the client's IP portfolio (e.g., through licensing).
