Overview (Program Summary)

A program hosted by:

ACC Oregon

 

Please join us for our final CLE of the year and a reception presented by new chapter sponsor Maschoff Brennan. 

 

Non-practicing entities, sometimes called “patent trolls,” are a growing challenge for companies in many industries. Their business model is built on extracting settlements and licensing fees, often through aggressive litigation tactics. Unfortunately, there is no "one size fits all" strategy for dealing with them, so corporate in-house counsel must develop a coherent understanding of what NPEs are, when to fight, and when to settle. Maschoff Brennan Partner Jason Crotty will share stories from the front lines and lead an informative discussion about this topic. 

 

This free event will take place at Enso Winery--a fun wine bar and urban winery located in the Buckman neighborhood in close-in SE Portland. A variety of hosted beverages (both alcoholic and non-alcoholic) and food will be available throughout the event.

 

All in-house counsel in Oregon and SW Washington are invited to attend this event regardless of membership in the ACC.  Space is limited.
