Introduction

The conference will feature world-renowned experts on patent information for technology research and planning, for legal organizations, and for overall corporate IP management (technology licensing and related activities). The conference will include many opportunities for discussion and part of Tuesday afternoon will be dedicated to visiting the exhibit hall. Many workshops will also be held in conjunction with this meeting (before and after the technical sessions).

Attendees typically have a professional, scientific, or technical interest in patents and represent a multitude of companies. The PIUG 2008 meeting drew an enthusiastic group of over 390 people to our three-day technical session in Crystal City, Virginia USA. Over 18% of the attendees were international; that is, more than 70 attendees came from Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, Denmark, France, Germany, India, Israel, Italy, Japan, Netherlands, the Russian Federation, Singapore, South Korea, Sweden, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. We expect 300-400 attendees in 2009.

At our Annual Conference we will be entering our third decade of PIUG! We look forward to seeing you in San Antonio, Texas.
