Cravath partner David J. Kappos gave the keynote address at a Licensing Executives Society’s Silicon Valley United States Patent and Trademark Office event, held in San Jose, California on May 14, 2019, called “Driving Innovation: Standards in Licensing and Intellectual Capital Management.” Dave’s talk, entitled “Behavioral Issues in Licensing of SEPs and other IP – Defining Acceptable and Best Practices through Voluntary Standards”, drew from European Union and Japanese guidelines to provide a best practices framework to guide participants on all sides of IP licensing transactions.
Dave’s participation in the event was preceded by a Q&A published on the Licensing Executives Society’s website. Please click here to read the full Q&A.
