PRG Lunch Seminars: Managing IP Risk in Global Supply Chains November 15, 2012

As businesses search for lower costs, supply chains have evolved from local to regional to global, and have led to an offshoring of component suppliers and contract manufacturers. As a result, new risks associated with Intellectual Property (IP) have been introduced into design and supply chains. Mitigating these risks is critical for the commercialization of new products.

During this session, you will learn:

- What's happening to companies with global supply chains?
- What factors are contributing to the problem?
- What solutions are available to mitigate IP risks?
