The Association of Corporate Counsel (ACC) is the world's largest organization serving the professional and business interests of attorneys who practice in the legal departments of corporations, associations, nonprofits and other private-sector organizations around the globe.

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.
