Welcome to Helsinki

We are honoured to invite you to the LES Scandinavia Annual Conference 2008 to be held in Helsinki, Finland on 7-9 September 2008 at Hotel Crowne Plaza Helsinki.

Merely owning and protecting intellectual assets is not enough in today's competitive business environment; the aim should be at optimising their value. Intellectual assets can be utilised to enhance the value of a company's core business. Also, intellectual assets can be the subject of the business as such, e.g. by means of licensing.

Globalisation brings along new business and co-operation models also in the field of IPR. Be aware of the opportunities and the pitfalls inherent to R&D outsourcing, subcontracting and other forms of co-operation.

Successful IPR management requires a good sense of the evolving business environments. How do we manage IPR risks in the world of patent trolls and web 2.0, for example?

LES Scandinavia Annual Conference 2008 offers you success stories and tips for preparing a functioning IPR strategy and business - from dynamic IPR strategy to blooming business. In addition to learning, the conference offers excellent opportunities for interesting discussions and networking with other licensing and IPR specialists from several countries.
