Minnesota CLE Midwest IP Institute

Robins Kaplan is pleased to sponsor the Minnesota CLE 2021 Midwest IP Institute taking place virtually on September 23 and 24, 2021. This year’s program will address new developments and top priority issues in intellectual property through practical analysis, tips, and strategies, delivered by a faculty of esteemed IP professionals. Aaron Fahrenkrog serves on the planning committee for this annual seminar.

On Friday, October 1, 2021, from 9:00 a.m. – 10:00 a.m. CT, Fahrenkrog, Aaron and Emily Tremblay will speak in a related webinar offered as a complimentary bonus to Midwest IP Institute attendees and titled, “The Big Chessboard: Managing Multinational Patent Enforcement and Defense.” In this panel presentation, patent litigators from Brazil, China, Germany, and the United States will discuss how tribunals receive patent cases and approach issues of infringement, invalidity, and remedies. Attendees will hear pros and cons to building portfolios across these jurisdictions with enforcement in mind. The panel will further discuss how overlapping or simultaneous enforcement activity may create challenges or offer advantages across jurisdictions.
