XPX Maryland: Positioning a Company's Intellectual Property for Transactions

Please join us as Greg Stone, Co-chair of the Intellectual Property & Technology Section at Whiteford Taylor Preston, discusses how business owners can best position their intellectual property for Mergers & Acquisitions and other significant transactions. Greg will cover crucial topics for businesses to consider, including: confirming and cleaning up IP ownership; auditing to ensure all protectible IP assets have been properly identified and protected; understanding and navigating the competitive landscape through “Freedom to Operate” opinions; proper markings of IP that is released into the commercial marketplace; and consideration of IP provisions in government contracts.
