Protecting Intellectual Property Rights in Global Markets

Join MITA on November 12 to explore how intellectual property (IP) rights can power international expansion. 

This session will break down the complexities of navigating global IP laws — from patentability and trademark protection to royalty structures and cross-border enforcement. Learn how to structure licensing agreements that meet country-specific legal and tax requirements while minimizing risk in today’s global markets. You’ll also learn how current trade agreements and tariff environments impact IP commercialization. Whether you’re scaling a startup or expanding an enterprise, you’ll gain actionable insights into global IP strategy, compliance, and commercialization.
