Topic: Recent Developments In Intellectual Property Law - A Global Perspective

Evaluating a Country's Patent Potential

  • What is the country's population?
  • Large or wealthy populations may provide bigger potential market size and more lucrative sales
  • Is there a market for the item or technology being patented?
  • Are there competing manufacturers already or likely to be in the market?
  • How strongly are patents enforced?

Six Countries to Consider

  • Argentina
  • Australia
  • Canada
  • India
  • Japan
  • South Korea

On September 21, 2006 we will review recent changes in the patent laws of several countries, in addition to the USA and Europe, in which the benefits of patenting internationally are realized. Knowledge of these changes will help formulate an effective patenting strategy to maximize the competitive advantage.

The day will also feature an address by the Honorable Elizabeth Laporte, Magistrate Judge, United States District Court for the Northern District California.

Location: DePaul University College of Law (1 East Jackson Boulevard, Room 8005, Chicago).
