Lausanne, Switzerland
In 2026, European corporates face a difficult balancing act: reduce costs while safeguarding innovation leadership.Across industries, IP departments are under increasing pressure to justify budgets, streamline portfolios and support strategic decisions with data. Yet pruning the wrong patents or benchmarking on flawed data can quietly weaken long-term competitive position.
This Swiss IP Leaders event will explore how IP teams can move from reactive cost-cutting to strategic portfolio optimization.
The event is designed for Heads of IP, Patent Counsel, and innovation leaders seeking to position IP not as a cost center, but as a strategic asset in a disciplined financial environment.
Join us in Lausanne for a focused morning of insight, discussion and networking with Swiss IP peers.
