SUMMARY:LESI WEBINAR: IP Valuation from Theory to Practice
DESCRIPTION:IP Valuation from Theory to Practice\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nLES USA & Canada\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nThis 50-minute webinar will explore the strategic importance of intellectual property (“IP”) valuation and the wide range of business circumstances in which understanding the economic value of IP can inform better decision-making.\nThe first half of the program will examine the growing importance of intangible assets\, the principal types of IP\, and how valuation can support investment prioritization\, resource allocation\, and optimization of IP portfolios\, while addressing common misconceptions about what actually drives IP value. The second half will focus on the practical applications of IP valuation across mergers and acquisitions\, licensing and commercialization\, litigation and dispute resolution\, and financing and capital-raising activities. Throughout the discussion\, the presenters will distinguish economic value from concepts such as development cost\, patent quantity\, technological strength\, and legal validity\, while highlighting how valuation principles intersect with licensing strategy and damages analyses. The program will conclude with practical perspectives on common misconceptions surrounding IP valuation and how licensing professionals and valuation experts can work together more effectively to support commercialization\, negotiations\, and strategic decision-making.

SUMMARY:Enhancing productivity of Australian food and agriculture through value-added processing
DESCRIPTION:Australia’s agricultural industries have remained internationally through continuous innovation resulting from joint industry- and government-funding as well as the willingness of Australian farmers to adopt new innovations. However\, Australia’s agricultural and food sectors increasingly face declining rates of profitability growth\, rising costs\, volatile markets\, and vulnerable supply chains. Diversifying revenue streams through value-added processing is a business imperative\, and a matter of national economic security. \nGlobal demand for sustainable\, high-value food\, materials and energy creates a unique opportunity. By leveraging our strengths\, Australia has the potential to generate economic\, environmental and social benefits positioning us at the forefront of the global bioeconomy. \nIn the third webinar in ATSE’s Beyond the Bite series\, we will hear from experts on how we can support the innovation system across the agricultural and food sectors to increase productivity\, profitability\, and sustainability.
