IP Matters: The Ins + Outs of Crowdsourcing

Thursday, July 9th, 2015 at 10:30 am United States (GMT -07:00) Pacific

Speaker: Kyle Hoellger, Director of Client Solutions at Patexia

Navigation: Home > IP Matters Webinars > The Ins and Outs of Crowdsourcing

The “Ins + Outs of Crowdsourcing” webinar will offer a look at the role of crowdsourcing in addressing the fundamental challenge facing intellectual property - access to high-quality technical information. Attendees will learn about the complete crowdsourcing process and how to harness the collective power of the model to help their stakeholders or constituents make better IP decisions.

The Patexia crowdsourcing platform will be discussed as an effective, practical solution to that fundamental challenge and the Patexia contest design and execution process will be described in detail. Relevant examples of successful crowdsourcing applications for patent development, litigation, and monetization will also be provided. The talk will expand to include coverage of some trending topics, including a discussion of how crowdsourcing can support third party pre-issuance submissions of prior art during USPTO examination, and potentially impact estoppel in light of the recent Conopco v. P&G PTAB decision.

Suggested Audience: Patent development, litigation, and monetization professionals
