The Legal Forum recognizes that technology-centric businesses thrive when products and services with high intellectual property content are delivered to the market, whether the IP is developed through internal innovation or acquired through external relationships.  The group brings together technical managers and legal professionals through educational events to explore common issues at the intersection of technology, business and the law; and to encourage TAO members to share their experiences.

 

Forum Membership and Needs:  Individuals who manage and use their company’s intellectual property assets and services providers who support them.
