RPX Kyoto Conference 2012

At this Conference, we will continue to address various issues affecting the patent landscape, and examine the implications of recent developments in the secondary market.

Specific topics to be covered include:

• The continued fall-out from media hype surrounding the “patent bubble” a year after the Nortel and Google transactions
• The rise of interest in patents from private equity and activist investors as companies struggle with solvency
• Quantifying patent risk in terms CFOs can understand
• The increasing popularity of the International Trade Commission for NPE actions
• The America Invents Act and its impact on the patent marketplace
• Current trends in acquisitions with views into deal volume, pricing, seller profiles, NPE profiles and activities, and more
• Patent risk trends in the automotive sector as cars begin to behave more like “mobile electronics devices”
