Michael Best & Friedrich LLP to Host: 'Intellectual Property Protection in the Emerging Offshore Wind Energy Sector'

Alliance member Michael Best & Friedrich will host an upcoming session on Intellectual Property Protection during the upcoming AWEA Offshore Windpower Conference and Exhibit on Oct. 11-13th in Baltimore, MD.  The session will be held at the Hilton Baltimore in the Key Ballroom 9-10 on Oct. 12th in the West (Main) Building, 401 West Pratt Street, Second Floor, Baltimore, MD. 

Citing the recent claims from American Superconductor (AMSC) against Sinovel Wind Group Co. for "stolen intellectual property", IP protection is a timely subject for those in the wind market.  The emerging offshore opportunities in the United States will generate greater competition within the market as future sites are determined and incentives are organized around offshore wind PPA's, making it more and more important for those within the wind market to focus on IP protection. 

Also during the conference, Michael Best & Friedrich will host a poster presentation on 'Offshore Wind PPA's, the Ontario Feed-In Tariff, and the New Jersey OREC Program: Strong Government Support to Key Success'.
