Plus, the Winter Meeting will feature a unique joint program with the Association of University Technology Managers (AUTM)

The LES-AUTM joint program will include an informative, lively and controversial negotiations session titled: "Dirty Little Tricks People Play in License Negotiations." This session will be followed by a networking coffee break to precipitate networking among both organizations' members. The joint program will be capped with the Honorable Randall Rader, Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit, presiding over mock oral arguments before the Court. This session promises to be an entertaining alternative format during which the litigants will debate the merits of a current controversy affecting technology transfer (topic to be chosen). The audience will have an opportunity to weigh in with their opinions on the arguments presented.

As always, the LES Winter Meeting will provide ample and unique opportunities for cross-industry networking, so sign up for the meeting today and prepare to meet your next partner and strike your next deal!
