Topic: 'Creating and Protecting New Products and Technologies'
Innovation is one of the most important requirements for chemical, pharmaceutical and biotechnology companies to be successful. Unfortunately, simply creating new products and advancing technology in these fields is not enough. Companies must take sufficient steps to protect their intellectual property in order to thrive financially and provide consumers with a reliable, consistent experience using their products and services. Without this consistency, companies damage relationships with customers leading to loss of profit. The panel will address recent developments in the industry surrounding technology advances, building a successful intellectual property portfolio, and practical steps that companies of all sizes can use to protect their technology and brands.
Each speaker will give a presentation followed by a discussion moderated by Peter Young of Young & Partners.
Speakers:
Patrice P. Jean,

Susan M. Perkins, Esq.,
