SMEs and Swpat Subconference
Document Actions
Track co-organised by CEA-PME and FFII
SME Track
jointly organised with CEA-PME, See also last CEA-PME conference.
Part I: micro-economy: strategies for SMEs in a world of [software] patents
- patent searching and data mining (databases, how to find relevant patents in them)
- patent application and litigation (lecture by EPO rep and patent attorney)
- portfolio managment, accounting and capital acquisition (Brian Caulfield, Jean-Paul Smets)
- patent insurance and defense schemes (Bernard Condat, John Mitchell)
Part II: macro-economy: Europe's Lisbon strategy and how to influence it
- surveys (Brigitte Andersen)
- EU patent legislation and SME lobbying
On each panel there will be one major educative lecture, held by experts who do not necessarily share the views or interests of FFII or CEA-PME.
Date: day I would be better, since much of this is rather basic.
