Participation at the event is by invitation only

IP intensive industries are in the centre of global innovation and sustainable economic development. UK businesses invest over £65 billion per annum in Intellectual Property. In many of the blue chip companies today, 80% or more of their market value is credited to intangible assets, as for the small to medium size enterprises – the only real value may be in the intellectual property they own. IP intensive sectors are contributing over 4.2% of the UK’s GDP and employ 3.72% of the total UK work force.
The diversity of portfolio management techniques used today is immense, but as practice shows the complexity of external drivers – such as the current economic crisis, legal systems’ vast differences, market restrictions, etc. – can have a devastating effect on companies’ patent portfolios, with more and more falling off the “patent cliff ”.

The London IP Summit is a one day international conference and it is one of kind in the UK. The event brings together IP regulators, policy makers, Board-level IP managers, as well as IP experts and investors in a dialogue designed to address and to discuss best practices and solutions to enhance global, regional and national patent management strategies. The event addresses the key challenges and issues facing IP professionals today and provides meaningful and valuable insights into the market.

CEO/COO’s, VP’s of Intellectual Property, Chief Patent Officers (CPO), Chief Technology Officers (CTO), R&D/R&T Senior Management, General Counsels, IP Managers, Patent Attorneys, IP Consultants, Licensing Experts, Sovereign Fund Managers, IP Investment Fund Managers, IP Corporate Venture Capital Fund Managers, Heads of Innovation and Research at UK and European Colleges and Universities are some of the few experts that have voiced their professional views on the agenda topics through the years.

Now in its 8th year, The London IP Summit presents the best of UK and European innovation and is established as ‘THE’ annual meeting platform for regulators, companies, patent owners, IP experts, innovators and IPR academia, as well as leading investors who discuss key priorities and practical solutions for IP departments and further advancement in technology and manufacturing.
