Womble Bond Dickinson IP Litigation attorneys Daniel Attaway, Mary Bourke and Joshua Davis spoke at the Consero IP Forum for Life Sciences.
Their presentation entitled “Do I Really Own That?” addresses the following topics:
- To publish or to patent? When and how do you make the decision and how do clinical trial disclosures affect the decision?
- Who said anything about assignment, how to ensure that “your” inventions are yours?
- How much is enough? What rights do you need to retain to be able to enforce your patents?
The Consero IP Forum for Life Sciences took place Dec. 4-6, 2022 at the Hyatt Regency Huntington Beach Resort and Spa in Huntington Beach, California.
