International IP Issues and Strategies is an authoritative, insider's perspective on best practices for managing intellectual property in today's global economy. Featuring partners from some of the nation's leading law firms, these experts guide the reader through key strategies for protecting IP in international jurisdictions, including understanding key regulatory differences, meeting procedural obligations, and knowing where to look for potential challenges and conflicts. These top lawyers give tips on enforcing patents, dealing with counterfeiting and illicit trade, and managing international disputes, as well as the role of the attorney in handling cross-border matters, strategies for working with foreign counsel, and helpful resources for the global IP lawyer. Additionally, these leaders reveal their strategies for working in specific jurisdictions, correcting common misconceptions about protecting IP overseas, and interpreting the recent trend toward harmonization in international law as it relates to intellectual property. The different niches represented and the breadth of perspectives presented enable readers to get inside some of the great legal minds of today, as these experienced lawyers offer up their thoughts around the keys to success within this ever-evolving area of law. Inside the Minds provides readers with proven business intelligence from C-Level executives (Chairman, CEO, CFO, CMO, Partner) from the world's most respected companies nationwide, rather than third-party accounts from unknown authors and analysts.
