In-House Practice Committee Roundtable Discussion

On February 27, the In-House Practice Committee hosted a virtual discussion about how to manage foreign counsel.  A lively group of both in-house and law firm-based attorneys discussed the advantages and disadvantages of working directly with local associates in different countries versus having international prosecution managed by an outside US attorney.  The group also discussed variations in trademark practice around the world and how to optimize both cost and accuracy when translating technically complex patent applications into the local language for filing.  Many thanks to co-chairs Lydia Olson of Canon USA and Jane Hsu White of Alnylam Pharmaceuticals for organizing the discussion.
