Doug Clark - Kidon IP War Stories with David Cohen

David Cohen interviews Doug Clark, Principal and Global Head of Dispute Resolution. Doug has practiced in Asia for close to 30 years. One might even say that he is the founding father or at the least a co-founding father of contentious IP disputes in East Asia.  He is currently a solicitor advocate of the High Court of the Hong Kong SAR.  Doug is a keen IP strategist and negotiator – and having witnessed this myself on both sides I can confirm it.  He also is a master linguist or East Asian languages, a prolific author including the first treatise of Hong Kong IP law and to my knowledge the only treatise on Chinese patent law written in English.  He is also a co-author of piece he, Eric Stasik and I wrote on SEP licensing.  Don’t get me started about his extracurricular activities including being a movie producer, published legal historian and law professor.  Most importantly he is a great guy with keen insights and fun to hang out with. In each episode of Kidon: War stories on the cutting edge of IP monetization, attorney and consultant David L Cohen interviews other subject matter experts and leaders in the wide world of prosecuting, asserting, analyzing, monetizing, and defending intellectual property rights.
