This event was informational and cutting edge. Trade Secrets are an increasing important topic in risk management and legal realms and having intelligent decision makers in a room discussing best practices was innovative and educational.

Perfect presentations, discussions, topics and organization. Nice mixture of speakers: judges, attorneys from industry and law firms.

Klaus Waschbeusch, Head of Patent Litigation, F. Hoffman - La Roche

Brilliantly organised event, great mix of practice and industry attendees, a highly relevant and useful series of panel talks, and a good balance of networking and content.

AP2. Andra AP-fonden

Found the agenda very insightful and focused on the “real challenges” that companies and industries are currently facing. In the last two years many events and conferences have bored attendees with only pandemic related challenges. Speakers were knowledgeable and with a lot of experience at the same time.

VP- Global Head Legal & Compliance, Vifor Fresenius Medical Care Renal Pharma

This was a thrilling event bringing together IP experts from originators, generics/biosimiars and judges into exciting panel discussions on the most immanent topics in Pharma/Biotech patent litigation.

Christoph Rehfuess, Head of IP, Sotio

The quality of the presentations was very high, and the content was very relevant. The conference was a good size-large enough to have meaningful network opportunities but still small enough to provide an intimate feel.

Russel Bagnall, Partner, Adams & Adams

'Very interesting speakers, a good mix of topics and greatly organised to enable networking!

I enjoyed meeting other trade secret practitioners, hearing their war stories, and sharing practical advice.
