Attendees will:
- Learn about recent developments, key decisions and the latest IP challenges from Europe, the United States and China
- Understand how IP strategies are adapting and how to avoid pitfalls and costly mistakes
- Determine what the convergence between life sciences and tech means for you and what lessons can be learned from high-tech innovators
