Topics of discussion include:

1. How Covid-19 caused a rush to file and/or update patent applications for technology relevant to the outbreak and how having procedures in place for managing IP could help companies move quickly in response to changes in market demand.

2. Federally funded research, “march-in” rights, and compulsory licenses in the time of medical crisis.

3. How litigation has increased during the pandemic and how to respond to demands for intensified timelines and immediate results.
