It will no doubt be a lot fun and very productive. With Luke Hohmann’s assistance, the group will explore the ideal CIPO profile and the organizational environment within which the CIPO should operate, as well as the responsibilities that should come with the role and the metrics by which CIPO performance should be measured.
The results of the meeting will be shared with IP Business Congress delegates during breakout and plenary sessions. Looking forward to your thoughts on what we come up with.
I’d be delighted if you wanted to share your thoughts before the meeting by adding comments to this blog post.
