Topic: Building a Deal‑Ready Patent Portfolio: What Licensors, Investors, and Pharma Partners Actually Want

Topic Details: This topic is intended to bridge IP strategy and licensing/transactional considerations, and help the audience better understand how early patent decisions can directly impact diligence outcomes, valuation, and deal leverage. In particular, Cooley plans to share practical insight into how patent portfolio structure, claim strategy, and prosecution choices translate into partnering and investment outcomes.
