In addition, all presenters will receive a recording of their presentation, have access to the full CoinAgenda event and parties and most importantly have their decks sent to a select group of investors unable to make the event in-person, but have expressed their interest in allocating capital into new deals within the next year. To apply to pitch and inquire about the presenter fee, email contact@coinagenda.com by November 30.

The orthopedic industry traditionally sees significant levels of intellectual property litigation activity, and this year has been no different. One source of this activity comes from Conformis who has continued to assert patents directed towards surgical planning and patient specific instruments and implants. In 2021, Conformis filed three new complaints, settled one case, and continued another litigation. These cases have involved various companies, including DePuy Synthes, Exactech, Bodycad, Wright Medical, and Medacta.
Decisions and settlements have also been reached in several additional lawsuits relating to diverse technologies, such as bone plates, knee implants, and pedicle screws. TriMed, Arthrex, Medacta, and Zimmer are some of the companies that have been parties to these lawsuits. Alternative forums, including the use of Inter Partes Review, have also continued to play significant roles for both patent holders and challengers.
an analysis of claim types asserted by Conformis against patient specific implant and instrument technologies and how these claims have been enforced against and challenged by many prominent orthopedic companies;
how statements made by a patent holder can limit the scope of their claims in litigation;
how small companies can leverage their patents to derive licensing revenue;
trade secret issues that can arise at industry meetings;
how prolific doctor inventors have built and enforced large patent portfolios;
remedies for IP disputes outside the United States; and
strategies for using patents defensively as part of a countersuit strategy.
