The risks associated with intellectual property (IP) and what businesses can do to protect their IP revenue streams will be the subject of a seminar hosted by Marsh later this month. The seminar will take place in London on 26 September at Marsh’s London offices in Tower Place, EC3R 5BU.

Among the major issues to be discussed at the seminar are:

• The key IP risks facing companies and how they can mitigate them through effective risk management strategies.

• How litigation costs associated with IP disputes have risen dramatically, yet companies are failing to take adequate measures to protect their patents, trade secrets, inventions, brands, media content and designs.

• How companies can protect their IP assets through specialist IP insurance solutions.

 
Fredrik Motzfeldt, CMT Practice Leader for Marsh in Europe, the Middle East and Africa, commented: “The valuation, management and protection of IP is now demanded by shareholders and regulators alike, as its value is unsurpassed. Despite this, many organisations are failing to give their IP the protection it requires. Companies need to have the latest information on how to manage the risks associated with their IP more effectively and leverage more value from what is arguably their most precious asset.”

Companies wishing to attend the seminar should contact Marsh’s intellectual property specialists, Scott Davies at scott.a.davies@marsh.com, or David Rees at david.h.rees@marsh.com.
