Annual Summit on Protecting Innovations in the Financial Services
Industry taking place July 24-25, 2019

York Barclay, in NYC. This event brings together in-house counsel, law
firms, and regulatory leaders to explore trends in technology innovation
and recent developments in patent eligibility.

Iancu will address USPTO initiatives to promote innovations and Hafiz
will share updates on patent prosecution. They are joined by an elite
group of IP counsel from financial organizations including American
Express, Mastercard, Capital One, Visa, Wells Fargo, CME Group,
CoreLogic, and Microsoft.

“Given the recent announcement of the new guidelines on subject matter
eligibility by the USPTO, it is an opportune time for IP counsel to gain
clarity from the USPTO on how to bolster innovation in the financial
services industry,” said World Congress CEO, Kathy Coffey. “It is
critical for financial institutions to be at the forefront of
technological advances while keeping pace with IP protection strategies
and guidelines.”
