Welcome to the 4th Global IP Exchange

The 4th Global IP Exchange will be the largest collection yet of senior IP decision-makers. Taking place in Munich, 17-19 March 2013, this popular invitation only meeting will bring together directors of IP, plus heads of Patents, Trademarks, Brand and Copyright along with a selected group of innovative solution providers.

Due to popular demand, the programme will be even bigger in 2013 with four streams and over 50 speakers, allowing IP directors to select from sessions focussing on the latest developments and future trends in patent, trademark, brand, copyright and the full range of IP rights.

The Global IP Exchange has become the ‘must-attend’ event in the European IP calendar. This is down to the exclusive, invitation only format and the content, which focuses on strategies to increase the value of your company’s IP portfolio through innovation and enhanced protection techniques. This forum gives senior IP professionals the opportunity to understand what strategies and solutions other companies are adopting and develop new business partnerships. Attendees will tailor their agenda by selecting from a range of keynote presentations, lively panel debates, peer sharing roundtable discussions, interactive BrainWeave sessions and one-on-one business meetings of their choice.
