Whether we like it or not, patent prosecution has become increasingly commoditized. While IP service providers offer valuable workforce flexibility and expertise, without the right partnership or guidance the onboarding process can be lengthy and arduous, and even worse, leave you running an expensive and inefficient patent prosecution operating model.
Join us on Thursday, December 5 for a conversation on making IP service provider partnerships work to your advantage with faster integration and cost-effective results. We will bring together a panel of patent lawyers and IP experts to share best practices for building effective IP operating models that balance legal and technical expertise across IP owners, law firms, and service providers. The panelists will explain how they identify and implement more efficient, predictable patent prosecution processes, helping to build greater confidence in planning and budgeting as we head into 2025.
Among other things, our panel will discuss:
- How to optimize team members’ and partners’ expertise to appropriate tasks for a more cost-conscious and practical approach to patent prosecution
- How to smoothly onboard IP service providers to maximize efficiency
- Ways to successfully implement more efficient IP operating models that leverage third-party specialist support
- Tips and real-world examples around negotiating fixed fee arrangements that benefit everyone
