Webinar, Virtual
5:00pm – 7:00pm CET
The EPO supports entrepreneurs, decision makers and investors in technology driven enterprises. Throughout the year, numerous online activities are organised to support strategic decision making, based on case studies and best practice in IP management. Some examples are available at epo.org/business-forum.
Using real-life cases, business experts present and discuss success stories and the challenges that they have had to overcome. They delve into the role and importance of IP assets, with a special emphasis on licensing, building to sell, growth financing and open innovation. The next forum will focus the IP strategy evolution. The case studies provide practical key takeaways, especially for business decision makers, on how to advance their business with IP assets as key value drivers.
These activities are developed in collaboration with the LESI and the High-growth Technology Business (HTB) initiative.

November 5, 2025
Webinar, Virtual
11:00am – 12:30pm EDT
Uncovering the Full Value of IP Assets in Divorce Cases
Join LES USA-Canada’s Silicon Valley Chapter for Part 3 of the IP Valuation in Special Situations webinar series, led by IP valuation expert and LES USA-Canada Board member, Efrat Kasznik, as she explores how IP is identified, valued, and divided in divorce proceedings. With approximately 50 percent of all U.S. (first or second) marriages ending in divorce, the proper identification and allocation of all marital assets is critical. Tangible assets, like bank accounts and real estate, are relatively straightforward to identify and value. On the other hand, IP assets, also referred to as “intangible assets,” are much more difficult to identify and value. As a result, patents and other IP assets in divorce cases are often treated as an afterthought or are completely ignored. Using real-world case studies, Efrat will go over the steps for identifying and valuing intangible assets in divorce cases, what are some of the unique challenges when it comes to documenting the timeline and ownership, and what are some creative solutions for bridging the gap between the parties.
