Your long time (or short time) client brings to you an idea. It sounds like a good idea. Actually, it sounds like a great idea, but you don’t really know how to assess its potential value. Sound familiar? It can be tough, because valuing intellectual property is indeed a challenging endeavor. This program will help you advise your client on identifying key sources of value; decide on valuation approaches; provide information on trademarks, patents and copyright matters; provide methods and strategies to correctly assess market potential;  and identify those areas ripe for litigation. Plus, you won’t want to miss the live cross examination of a real expert as part of the afternoon portion of our program. It all happens right here at ICLEF, on February 23.

Philip C. Potts, South Bend, Indiana: District 3 ICLEF Board Representative

ICLEF welcomes Philip Potts, Potts & Potts Law Firm, South Bend, Indiana to the Board of Directors. He is serving a three-year term as the District 3 representative. Born and raised in South Bend, Phil has enjoyed serving his clients in St. Joseph County for over 50 years. His law practice centers on probate, real estate and trusts.

Among Phil’s connections with ICLEF is one that provides a winter-time break from the South Bend climate. He and his wife, Pat, are among the most loyal attendees of the ICLEF Out-of-Country CLE programs. The combination of a winter escape, good companionship and great CLE convinced them to make this program a tradition.  They’ve  traveled with this ICLEF group for over 25 years, developing friendships that they enjoy a great deal.

When asked to offer a few thoughts concerning his ICLEF board involvement, Phil provided these kind words:

“ICLEF offers a forum in which the best and brightest members of our profession unselfishly share their knowledge, experience and insight.  Thereby, enabling us to provide the best available legal advice to our clients.  Our clients deserve nothing less.

The effort is minimal, the rewards multiple, not the least of which is the satisfaction of a job well done.”

We look forward to Phil’s guidance in his directorship role with ICLEF.
