Building, Maintaining, and Enforcing an Effective Global Patent Portfolio

Tom Moga will serve as a featured presenter at the 2026 AUTM Annual Meeting, which takes place February 8-11 in Seattle. Moga will present “Building, Maintaining, and Enforcing an Effective Global Patent Portfolio,” offering practical, cost-effective strategies for navigating today’s increasingly complex global patent landscape. Attendees will also tackle the significant threats posed by the growing political pressure for “patent waivers” (especially impacting the pharmaceutical industry), the relentless rise of patent trolls, and the dense, confusing “patent thickets” that can hinder operations. This session will equip attendees with actionable insights and tools to minimize these challenges, protect their innovations worldwide, and ensure their portfolio delivers maximum value, no matter where their technology takes them.
