Here is where companies must consider when it makes sense to patent their inventions. In this discussion, our speakers discuss the benefits of patenting and how they align with Standards and Open Source. The panelists will draw on their personal experience as inventors and their thoughts on what makes for a good patentable invention. They will also compare and contrast various approaches to intellectual property protection around the world (Americas, EMEA, and Asia Pacific). Lastly, they will also discuss helpful tips for seeking a patent grant.
