In this session, we'll look at how these IP leaders manage to spread knowledge about IP across their organizations. We'll hear about their triumphs in creating a culture that values IP and the obstacles they've faced when facing the IP doubters. Join us for a candid discussion on how to nurture a culture where IP matters to everyone.
