​Finally, a forum dedicated solely to the challenges and opportunities facing medical device patent practitioners in the post-patent reform world...
A medical device specific intellectual property conference to provide you with practical and tactical strategies for patent filings and challenges, which are more critical than ever in this time of sweeping change.

Arm yourself with the tools to file device patents flawlessly and defend patents vigorously.

Amidst pivotal case law changes affecting the patentability of devices and landmark patent reform legislation, it is more crucial than ever for medical device companies to diligently protect intellectual property and maximize device patent life through a cohesive prosecution and litigation strategy. In response to the challenges facing the device industry in this daunting economic climate including the looming medical device tax, ACI’s Advanced Summit on Medical Device Patents provides a forum for the key players- preeminent in-house IP counsel, patent prosecutors and litigators, the PTO, and judges - to unite and share their collective knowledge to provide you with the most up to date strategies you can immediately incorporate into your practice. Featuring first-hand insight from the USPTO and retired judges in medical device litigation hotbeds including the Eastern District of Texas, this event is the premiere conference for medical device companies to devise strategies to strengthen patent rights and seize market share.

Remain competitive in this constantly burgeoning market and strengthen your device patent portfolio

Learn how to use the major developments in prosecution and litigation from leading members of the patent bar who are setting the standards in the device industry, including representatives from Boston Scientific, C.R. Bard & Medtronic. Complete your training by attending the pre-conference session designed to prepare both prosecutors and litigators for the entire process of getting a device to the market, The 510(k) Process and Patentability: Reformulating Patent Strategies in Light of Changes in the Regulatory Approval Process.

Capitalize on an epic and international opportunity for global growth.

While this is a time of great challenges for device companies, there is also a sky-high potential for growth in both domestic and previously untapped global markets. Indeed, a leading industry report estimated that the device industry was worth more than $300 billion in 2011 with the U.S. representing the largest market with sales in excess of $95 billion. At this conference, expert international and domestic practitioners will arm you with the tools to heighten patent protection in both established and emerging markets.
