Intellectual property assets have become a larger and larger share of corporate balance sheets. Now, when companies face bankruptcy, it is essential for both IP and bankruptcy counsel to understand how bankruptcy courts will treat these assets.
This webinar discusses the relevant aspects of both disciplines. A panel of IP and bankruptcy law experts examines the key issues, the questions raised by common scenarios, and the impact of the divergent policy goals of bankruptcy and IP law. Throughout, they provide guidance for the practitioner. Topics include:
- the status of IP rights if one of the parties to a license or transfer of those rights declares bankruptcy
- the best ways to protect security interests in IP
- issues raised by overlapping bankruptcy and IP litigation
The program is a must for any attorney advising clients on how IP issues will be treated in bankruptcy court. It concludes with a helpful question and answer period.
