A complimentary webinar hosted by Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner will discuss intellectual property issues for Internet of Things (IoT) technology and how to navigate through the IoT patent obstacle course.
The hour-long event will be Wednesday, Sept. 14, at 1 p.m. EDT.
Topics will include:
- What are the challenges in protecting IoT inventions?
- What makes an IoT patent valuable?
- How should a company deal with the more than 22,000 IoT-related patents and pending patent applications world-wide?
“Most industries have focused on cooperating with each other to solve the technical challenges in making a workable IoT ecosystem,” the firm says on its website. “But many businesses are getting ready for the intense competition that will undoubtedly follow after IoT becomes ubiquitous. Intellectual property rights and patents, including design patents, will play a major role in that competitive landscape.”
