In 2011, the Wall Street Journal published a widely-read article “Why Software Is Eating the World,” which described the industrial disruption being caused by the software revolution—a trend that continues. This seminar will focus on a key consequence of that disruption: the profound shift to intellectual property as the basis for profits, and what you can do to capitalize on it.

Topics Include:
1. Intellectual property value hidden in an ongoing business, and how to unlock that value
2. Why and how intellectual property adds value to a business
3. Corporate arrangements for holding intellectual property to maximize the benefits to the seller
4. Protecting a business’ information and technology
5. How major multinational corporations maximize their intellectual property value
6. How M&A advisors should position your intellectual property in a sell-side process

Who Should Attend:
• Business owners
• Technology company C-level executives (CEOs, CFOs, COOs) and board members
• Private equity funds
• Potential buyers
• Technology licensing professionals
• Advisors

Significant portions of this transaction included technology-driven products and intellectual property-related valuation. Brian is a named inventor on approximately 230 patent filings worldwide.
