MFTA/Kobre & Kim | Preparing for Battle, Protecting Your Innovations: Cross-Border Intellectual Property Strategy for Fintech Business Lead

​Fintech and other emerging technologies generate tremendous value, but that value is under constant threat. Businesses have been destroyed when joint venture partners, strategic partners or key employees have walked off with key information, technologies or confidential business information. Copycats may spring up in out-of-the-way geographies, offering competing products at cut-rate prices. And businesses have been cut down by government enforcers or litigation in faraway courts. Fintech entrepreneurs are not helpless to these threats, but they need to be prepared, and to have a battle plan in place when they arise.

​Join the MENA Fintech Association (MFTA) and powerhouse disputes law firm Kobre & Kim for a selective roundtable discussion for fintech business leaders with Michael Ng, the head of Kobre & Kim’s global Intellectual Property and Technology Disputes practice.

​Mr. Ng is one of the world’s leading intellectual property lawyers; among other victories was his recent $833 million victory in a US court on behalf of a renewable fuels innovator against an oil major trade secrets stolen in a corporate acquisition process. He will share strategies for identifying and nullifying threats that face fintech, AI and other emerging technology companies around the world.
