Intellectual Property represents more value in mergers and acquisitions than at any other point in our past. This value cannot be taken for granted. Careful planning and execution, both pre- and post- deal, are essential to success in capturing the value of IP in M&A transactions and often to the success of the transactions themselves. Join Jason Haislmaier as he presents strategies and practices for identifying and capturing the value of IP in M&A transactions, including: • Identifying (and obtaining) the information pre-deal that you will need post-deal • Moving beyond diligence "checklists" to the questions that really matter to the deal • Building the right team, pre-deal . . . and post-deal • Matching reps and warranties to the deal structure and deal value • Assessing licenses and other issues with shared IP • Preserving the value of IP assets during (and after) the deal • Integrating purchased IP assets with existing IP portfolios • Protecting IP assets when the deal goes bad NOTE: This course has been approved for Minimum Continuing Legal Education credit by the State Bar of Texas Committee on MCLE in the amount of 1.25 credit hours, of which 0 credit hours will apply to legal ethics/professional responsibility credit.
