Now new value creation strategies are emerging.

Europe’s chance to lead For many years, the United States has dominated the global IP market; but that leadership is now up for grabs. The creation of the unitary EU patent and the Unified Patent Court, just as the US environment becomes more hostile to patent owners, could see the centre of the market shift eastwards.
- The new European regime explained
- Opportunities and implications for patent owners
- Patent values in the unitary system

Debate: The end of US patent leadership

Debate: Patents as an asset class

- The dangers of seeing patents as more than legal rights
