Patents have been and will continue to be an important part of every EDA companies’ assets. They protect the inventions and innovations that are the building blocks of an EDA company. They may define the company’s value, investments, and technology. At the EDAC Patent Panel, we will discuss how to get highly technical patents through the Patent Office, how to protect your patents or potential inventions in the current legal landscape, and how to prepare against potential patent litigation.
