Assessing and Protecting Intellectual Property Value in Joint Ventures
Greenberg Traurig Dallas
Protection of a business’s intellectual property rights is vital to its competitiveness, growth prospects, and market value, and the significance and weight of this fact grows with each passing year. When forming a joint venture, failing to think through the JV’s IP inputs and outputs when establishing the JV, as well as how those may evolve and be affected by various scenarios throughout the JV’s lifecycle, may jeopardize the success and value ultimately created by the contemplated JV. We will explore IP-related issues that co-venturers should carefully consider when entering into a joint venture and the impact those issues are likely to have on the co-ventures’ finances.

Solving the Puzzle of Software Selection
While Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are aging and Cloud ERPs are maturing, companies need to evaluate whether to select new software or stay with current software. Which software company fits my needs? Should we go to the cloud or stay on-premise? Best of breed or single solution? Selecting an ERP can be an intimidating task that should not be taken lightly. ERP systems can touch every aspect of an organization: human resources, finance, procurement, sales, and more. This presentation will help attendees walk through a process that will evaluate the reasons to select or not select a new ERP and what steps should be taken when selecting a new ERP.
