IPGX Wrap Up

Bob Donaldson (VP of Strategy) and Rose Neas (Business Development Manager, Legal Division) had the chance to attend the 2nd Annual Global IP Exchange in Pinehurst, North Carolina, May 4-6.

This year’s exchange addressed the most pressing issues facing intellectual property departments today. They were able to meet with leaders of IP at Fortune 1000 companies in one on one meetings to understand the challenges facing them. As IP continues to move to the forefront of overall business strategy, the impact of economics, of politics and of regulation continues to increase. Global IP Exchange was an opportunity to hear and share best practices.

Rose’s most memorable session was the keynote by Margaret J.A. Peterlin, Deputy Under Secretary of Commerce for Intellectual Property and Deputy Director of the USPTO. With IP rights applications reaching record levels, the USPTO is under immense pressure to improve quality, efficiency and performance. Ms. Peterlin shared the office’s latest strategic initiatives and best IP practices that are currently underway. With a mammoth task at hand, the USPTO is taking steps to cut attrition, improve morale and increase production. McElroy is proud to be a part of the solution as we continue to provide quality translation services to the USPTO.

IP Global Exchange was a great venue for us to visit clients, and we look forward to fostering new relationships that were developed!
