Many of you have been watching this year as the historic America Invents Act patent reform legislation was signed into law. This new law will considerably alter patent prosecution and patent litigation in the United States, aligning it more closely with foreign patenting offices. Frisina will help you understand the critical changes that this new law encompasses and the impact it may have on your business.

To assist business owners with their corporate and individual tax planning, John Margida, President of Margida & Associates will present the 2011 Tax Outlook. He will review what to look for and provide information to help business and individuals chart a smooth course moving forward. His presentation will include:

•2010 Tax payer Relief Act / Tax Payer Checklist for 2011
•R&D Tax Credits
•Alternative Minimum Tax (AMT)
•Estate Taxes / Gift Taxes
•Roth IRA Conversions
•Health Care Act

Frisina, LLC is pleased to offer these complimentary seminars. Typically patent attorneys leave monetization and risk management to other professionals; however, properly addressing these issues requires a cooperative effort between an experienced patent attorney, insurance and financial professionals. Accordingly, we offer our clients Comprehensive Portfolio Management (CPM)™, which addresses the entirety of patent ownership. Furthermore, our methods endeavor to foresee and deal with issues before they arise rather than wait to reactively manage consequences.
