Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Patent Assignments and Priority in an International Context: U.S., Europe, and Asia" on March 9, 2023 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST). Jonathan Bench of Harris Bricken Sliwoski and Austen Zuege of Westman Champlin & Koehler will guide patent counsel on patent assignments and priority in the international context, together with key transactional concerns that may arise in the scope of negotiations; address key considerations for patent counsel, including scope of the assignment, signing issues, corrections, due diligence, representations and warranties, jurisdiction, and choice of law; and discuss dealing with non-assignment transfers by operation of local/foreign law and assignment issues in the U.S., Europe, and Asia that may arise during negotiations or dealt with post-closing. The webinar will review the following issues:
