Some Upcoming Events on IP Remedies

1. The Licensing Executives Society will be holding its 2017 Spring Meeting in Washington, D.C. on May 9-11.  The schedule for Thursday, May 11 includes a plenary session from 8:45 to 10:00 a.m. titled "How the Judiciary Is Impacting IP Policy-From Setting Policy to Dealing With Policy."  The session will be moderated by Matt Larson, and speakers will include former U.S. District Judge Hochberg, former PTAB Judge Kamholz, and former International Trade Commission Chair Okun.  I'm told the panel will have a strong focus on damages and licensing trends.  There also are sessions on Wednesday, May 10 titled "Legal and Economic Considerations Associated with Litigating at the ITC," and "The Art and Science of IP Valuation:  Methods, Data, and Technology for Market-Based Valution," Here is a link to the event's webpage.
