Welcome to the 4th IP Service World 2013
Europe‘s First Event for Professional IP Management!
Greetings from the conference chair person
The IP Service World has established itself as a platform for getting in contact with a vast number of IP service providers,
companies no one of us can do without. The 2013 edition is again in Munich, the IP epicentre of Europe.
Quite a few things are on the move in the IP world, currently. The unitary patent, will it come or not, patent prosecution
highway getting more popular, new services appearing, IP services still rising in importance, etc.
If you are responsible for everyday efficient IP work, this is an event that can reveal itself as extremely helpful for you. The
IP Service World 2013 gets you in contact with the respective service providers. The IP Service World 2013 will again give
you a state-of-the-art overview of what is available in the IP market place today – all in one place and in two days.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
Last year‘s IP Service World in the heart of Munich has been a great success! More than 300 delegates from over 50 countries
as well as 39 sponsor partners and exhibitors were involved in this great event, so we truly can say: This show settles its claim
to be Europe‘s leading information and networking platform for professional IP management.
We are proud to present the follow-up of Europe‘s biggest “International Congress and Trade Fair“ once more in Munich and we
are happy to welcome all new partners to jump on the bandwagon.
Within two days the attendees will gain a comprehensive overview of international best practice solutions for any aspect of
professional IP management: The services offered cover annuities & renewals, IP information & search services, IP software, IP
management, valuation & exploitation, legal advice, filing and others. You will get to hear captivating key note speeches and
take part in interesting lectures, individual roundtable discussions as well as specially customized demo forums. Let yourself be
inspired by leading IP experts contributing to the event.
The international trade fair of the IP Service World is an absolute must for all IP professionals and decision makers, to have the
opportunity for an extensive exchange. Here you will learn about effective ways of organizing your IP management, raising
efficiency and reducing costs without downsizing your IP protection. The IP Service World lets you find tailor-made solutions
for your needs.
New in 2013 are the 6 clearly structured topic fields, which were chosen according to our attendees‘ needs. Thus the focus
on current industry side issues especially in trademark management is even stronger. Like before, the six colour-coded content
areas, give you clear guidance through the IP Service World. This will help you to orientate yourself even better as to which
parts of the congress programme and trade fair will meet best your individual requirements and questions.

Exhibition Information
The international trade fair of the IP Service World 2013
In the world of Intellectual Property congresses at least take place monthly. Needless to say that best-practice speeches from
corporate speakers are highly interesting.
Our approach is completely different. At the IP Service World the attendees get a systematic and qualified overview of all relevant
solution providers in the international IP market. They compare all the different services at one spot. users of IP services join the
event if they need a concrete solution. Therefore companies send their decision makers from all over the world: At our 3rd congress
in 2012 we already had 47 nationalities on site. And as a highlight we offer 4 top-class industry keynotes.
Seize this opportunity and convince your potential customers of your individual solution. With around 55 vendor partners
competition is high on this conference – do you face this challenge? Especially the high quality of attendees and the keen interest
for solutions shown directly on site leads to many valuable contacts and completion of contracts.
Call me for your individual exhibition package.
