The Eclipse IP Conference Retrospective – 7 years

The Eclipse IP Conference – uniting thought leaders in IP since 2013

Neo IP held its first Eclipse IP conference was in 2013. We had no idea it would still be around 7 years later. We’ve had so much fun and met so many amazing and talent entrepreneurs that we thought we’d take some time to dig up some old photos and memories.

2013: The Inaugural year. Featuring Ron Epstein, Epicenter IP CEO.

We were thrilled Ron agreed to fly down and speak to our group. Ron has been instrumental in defining the category of patent brokers in the emerging patent marketplace, delivering over $1 billion of value from the sale or licensing of patents in over 150 transactions. In case you were wondering, Ron was in the room when the phrase “patent troll” was invented (he preferred “patent pirate”). 

2014: Year #2. JiNan Glasgow George talks about IP as an asset.

For our second annual Eclipse IP Conference, our CEO JiNan Glasgow George addressed the attendees. And wouldn’t you know it, her talk was so good, there were numerous requests for her to speak the following year.

2016: Year #4. Jeff Ronaldi takes the stage

For our fourth annual Eclipse IP Conference, Jeff Ronaldi, currently the CEO at DSS, took some time out of his day to discuss IP portfolio strategy.
