For Japanese enterprises, as for enterprises in the United States
and Europe, the protection of innovative technology by patents
is today an indispensable prerequisite of business success in the
global market. For the professional responsible for the filing and
prosecution or enforcement of patents, a thorough knowledge of
the patent practice in the major markets and concise information
on the brand-new developments are often decisive for gaining the
edge in an increasingly competitive business environment.

It is a great pleasure for Hoffmann · Eitle as a European IP law firm,
and the U.S. law firm of Foley & Lardner LLP, to jointly present
to the Japanese patent practitioner a two-day European-U.S.
comparative seminar addressing the most up-to-date topics of
patent prosecution, patent litigation, and patent management from
a U.S. and European perspective. The objective of this seminar
is to offer knowledge and information that you can put to use in
your international patent practice. To help achieve this objective,
simultaneous interpretation will be provided. We look forward to
your participation.
