IPBC 2018 to Focus on Creating and Harnessing IP Value

How do you create – how do you harness that value and how do you turn it into something that is meaningful for the people that own the intellectual property?

We all know for the last 10 years, Chinese companies have been buying shedloads of U.S. patents. But what more do we know than that?
