LES San Diego Chapter Event: Contracting with the U.S. Government – A Strategic Moment for Technology and IP Licensing

Join us for an engaging panel discussion exploring how technology companies can successfully navigate government contracting while protecting and maximizing the value of their intellectual property. Building on the success of a recent LES Phoenix program, this discussion brings the conversation to San Diego with a focus on our region’s thriving defense technology ecosystem. As the U.S. government increasingly partners with commercial innovators, understanding the intersection of government procurement, IP rights, and licensing strategies has become a critical competitive advantage. Hear perspectives from legal and industry leaders with firsthand experience in defense technology, government acquisitions, and commercial innovation.
