Next week, on October 8 at 10am central, I have the privilege of giving a presentation on my six steps for reducing IP litigation costs and improving your effectiveness, as part of BrightTALK’s IP Litigation Summit.  The presentation draws on my experience as both inside and outside counsel.  I discuss ways to manage your outside counsel proactively and effectively.  I also look at the role of not just a long term case strategy, but a short term strategy in controlling and focusing costs on your litigation goals while increasing your effectiveness.  Click here to register for my presentation.  You can watch the presentation below, both live and anytime afterward:
