IP REFORM: THE FUTURE HAS ARRIVED

GOAL to Organize the Global IP Conference and Exhibition in New York City this June to discuss the
Future of Global IP Reforms

NEW YORK, June 4, 2014: Implementation of the America Invents Act (AIA) is well under way. With such
provisions as the expansion of the definition of prior art and creation of a first-to-file system, practice
before the US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) has changed significantly. Concurrently, the
European Patent Office (EPO) introduced the new European Unified Patent Court this year to
accompany the new EU Unitary Patent System.

In view of these recent developments, the Global Outsourcing Association of Lawyers (GOAL) is
organizing the Global IP Conference and Exhibition in New York City on 18-19 June 2014. GOAL's Global
IP Conferences create a global forum for lawyers and legal departments, legal process outsourcing
professionals and government representatives to network, develop business and discuss trends, issues
and opportunities related to legal process outsourcing. One must attend the GOAL international
conference to get the latest information about sweeping patent reforms and gain the necessary tools for
developing a strategic IP plan within these new patent regimes. This would prove to be a great
opportunity to learn from IP lawyers from in-house and private practice, government representatives
and outsourcing experts who are on the front lines pertaining to these changes.
