Going Global – Real World Trademark Triage and Portfolio Management Strategies

Posted on by

CincyIP Presents:
Going Global
Real World Trademark Triage and Portfolio Management Strategies

Featuring
Lou Ebling

Date: January 11, 2011

Time: 11:45am – 1:30pm

Location: The Cincinnatian

INCLUDES LUNCH
1 Hour Ohio CLE (applied)

Topic: Going Global: Real World Trademark Triage and Portfolio Management Strategies

A trademark portfolio is a collection of registered marks, pending applications and often unregistered marks owned by a business venture. Apart from the traditional route, these rights arise through licenses or franchise agreements, co-branding agreements or other transactions. “Portfolio Management” involves developing strategies for acquiring, exploiting, maintaining and enforcing these rights in a way that maximizes their value. Companies conducting business outside the U.S. face growing challenges in determining how best to obtain the widest trademark protection possible, exploit the properties and provide meaningful enforcement in an era of shrinking budgets and staff.

Lou is a partner at Thompson Hine and a graduate of Albion College and the University of Michigan Law School. Lou concentrates his legal practice on all aspects of US and international trademark law and also advises on internet, advertising, data privacy, patent and copyright issues. Lou is an active member of the International Trademark Association, presently serving on the U.S. Legislation Subcommittee, and immediate past Chair of the US Roundtables Project Team. He has been honored by several of the most respected peer-review rating publications in the legal profession, including Best Lawyers in America and Chambers USA, America’s Leading Lawyers for Business.

Lou’s topic includes taking IP assets global and the often overlooked issues with this practice. Lou deals with these problems on a regular basis with his own clients and is here to share some of those experiences with you today. He is among the most active lawyers in trademark prosecution in the Midwest and provides representation, counsel and advice to IP owners and managers of all types, from individual inventors and business owners to US and foreign companies.

June 2010 Meeting – Tensions between Marketing and IP

Posted on by

Tensions between Marketing and IP

Date: June 8, 2010

Description: Intellectual property lawyers and marketing professionals approach the development and protection of trademarks, copyrights, and patents with entirely different goals and perspectives. These differences can often lead to tension between legal and marketing over the design, substance, and protection of intellectual property. If unaddressed, these tensions and the lack of communication can lead to legal issues including litigation and loss of intellectual property rights. This panel presentation will address these legal issues, how these tensions develop, and the best strategies for achieving synergy between legal and marketing to prevent gaps in intellectual property protection.

Panel Discussion including:

Alison Tan (The Procter & Gamble Company)
Steve Friskney (GE Aviation)
Hilarie M. Joseph (Campbell Hausfeld)
