Webinar “Patent trolls: prevention and methods of dealing with them”

Patent trolls use seemingly lawful actions to make competitors pay compensations, abandon projects or even leave the market. There are different means in their armoury, e.g. registering of intellectual property, challenging the rights to registered objects and bringing claims.
Such practices cause not only loss of profit, but also reputational difficulties due to discouraging partners and investors.
Businesses of all sizes face this threat. At the webinar we will talk about how to identify vulnerabilities in your business and what to do if you have already encountered such a problem.
