Dear Computer & Internet Law, Business Law and Intellectual Property Section members;
Computer & Internet Law Section Luncheon CLE – Thursday, January 21, 2010, 12 – 1 p.m. Targeting or Targeted: Mapping the Technology Landmines
Luncheon CLEs at Kell’s are back. After an end-of-the-year hiatus, the Computer and Internet Law Section is pleased to be hosting Martin Medeiros, a partner at Swider Medeiros Haver LLP, who will present on technology merger and acquisition issues. Technology merger and acquisition activity is slowly ticking upward based, perhaps, on the perception that we are past the bottom of the current recession. As technology companies look for merger targets or ready themselves for sale as a target, counsel will encounter questions involving the intellectual property hygiene of a company’s owned, licensed or “otherwise acquired” technology.
During the due diligence phase, exposure of a company’s legal issues, particularly as they relate to intellectual property protection, can rapidly change the company’s valuation. On the seller-side, such surprises compromise your client’s negotiating position and obligations to equity holders and others. On the buyer-side, such surprises may substantially alter the deal and are often deal breakers. This presentation proceeds from a seller-side, before-the-fact, advisory perspective. However, the material covered forms a great “watch list” for the potential buyer.
Learn the dangers that can impact the value of technology companies in this informative presentation.
Martin Medeiros is a partner at Swider Medeiros Haver LLP, an intellectual property and business law firm. Mr. Medeiros is a past chair of the Oregon State Bar Computer and Internet Law Section, an executive committee member of the Oregon Law Institute, and is admitted to the U.S. Federal District Court for Oregon.
