The forum takes place at the Essex House in New York on September 27 2012 and is presented by Benchmark Canada, the Canadian edition of the Benchmark brand of litigation-based directories.
Attendance is free for private practice firms with headquarters in the US and $1095 for those with headquarters in Canada. Registration is available online.
Panellists J Sheldon Hamilton and Colin Ingram from Canada’s largest and most prominent IP firm Smart & Biggar will discuss litigating patent utility issues and how the US and Canada diverge.
