Beyond Prep & Pros: Evolving Roles of Patent Agents, Elevating the Profession, and Managing the Privilege

May 16, 2024

Foley Hoag is proud to sponsor the 2024 AIPLA Spring meeting, an annual gathering of leading intellectual property practitioners. This year’s meeting will explore the intersection between technology, the Austin, TX music scene and intellectual property hot topics.

Partner Jeffrey I.D. Lewis will join an insightful panel discussion exploring the ways U.S. patent agents’ roles are extending well beyond basic preparation and prosecution, including vibrant insights on managing privilege. The panel will illustrate the opportunities created by having an expanded vision of what a patent practitioner can do and discuss how to manage perceived challenges.
