November 10, 2020 - The Korea Society and Korea Trade-Investment Promotion Agency (KOTRA) are delighted to present Leveraging Big Data, AI, and Patents for Business Growth on November 10th, 2020 from 6pm to 8pm EST. Our first session will feature Tim Hwang, CEO of FiscalNote. FiscalNote is a global technology and media company that Tim co-founded in 2013 at the age of 21. FiscalNote feeds big data to a powerful machine learning algorithm to provide its clients with the right policy information and AI-driven insights to better navigate market risk and uncertainty and maximize new opportunities. In 2016, the World Economic Forum announced FiscalNote as Technology Pioneers, and Forbes named Tim in its annual 30 Under 30 list. TaeSoo Sean Kim, Partner at Ice Miller LLP, will leverage his own expertise in IP and technology licensing while moderating the talk with Tim. You will expect to hear Tim’s personal journey as a tech entrepreneur, FiscalNote's business and growth strategy, IP portfolio management strategy, and Tim’s vision in running a successful and socially responsible data analytics company in today’s politically tumultuous times. The second session will be a lecture led by two prominent patent attorneys based in Washington, D.C. Michael Dzwonczyk and Hyunseok Park at Sughrue Mion, PLLC will enlighten us on patent challenge proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. A patent clearance search may reveal certain patents held by others that your company needs to consider in the product development process. You wish to proceed with your proposed design concept, but also want to minimize any risk potential for patent infringement claims. What options do you have? Michael and Hyunseok will explain key differences among Ex Parte Reexamination (EPR), Inter Partes Review (IPR), and Post-Grant Review (PGR), and offer guidance on invalidation grounds, standards, cost, time, and likelihood of success. The audience will gain a solid understanding of how each patent challenge avenue best meets client priorities and circumstances.
