PIUG 2010 Annual Conference
An International Conference for Patent Information Professionals
Moving Targets: Current & Future Best Practices and Opportunities for Patent Information Professionals
Introduction
The conference will feature world-renowned experts on patent information
for technology research and planning, for legal organizations, and for
overall corporate IP management (technology licensing and related
activities). The conference will include many opportunities for
discussion and part of Tuesday afternoon will be dedicated to visiting the
exhibit hall. Many workshops will also be held in conjunction with this
meeting (before and after the technical sessions).
Attendees typically have a professional, scientific, or technical interest
in patents and represent a multitude of companies. Previous meetings in
Crystal City, Virginia and San Antonio, Texas, drew enthusiastic groups of
over 390 and 320 people, respectively, to the three-day technical
sessions. Nearly one-fifth of the attendees were international; that is, attendees
came from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France,
Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, the Russian Federation,
Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. We
expect about 400 attendees in 2010.
Join us as we continue in our third
decade of PIUG! We look forward to seeing you in Baltimore, Maryland, USA.
