The 2nd ipShootOut™ Showcases the World's Top IP Asset Management Software Products, June 16, 2010 in San Francisco, CA

Online, April 22, 2010 (Newswire.com) - Naperville, IL - The IP Asset Management Vendor ipShootout™, moderated by ipPerformance Group, is a one-of-a-kind opportunity for companies to see the best in Intellectual Property Asset Management software solutions all in one place, at the same time!

For the 2nd time now, the top IP Asset Management (IPAM) packages will be presented by vendors in a side-by-side comparison. Past IP Vendor ipShootouts™ have included product demonstrations from CPA, Thomson, and Innovation Asset Group.

"Great way to see several tools at once in a common situation-very helpful."
- Ted Gausman, Swagelock

"Great to have all the back-to-back. Far more useful than seeing at a show"
- Joe DeLoach, Eastman Chemical

"Case Study very helpful to pull out features that distinguish products."
- Asst General Counsel, Life Sciences

The targeted audience for this event is innovation-driven companies who are considering an IP Management software selection or upgrade, interested in better understanding what is available or want to learn the latest trends, paradigms and practical needs driving the market today. The goal of the event is to simplify the IPAM software selection process-alleviating some of the painful inefficiencies of the selection process by coordinating onsite software presentations and delivering them in one day. End-user attendees will participate in a series of scripted demos from vendors, gaining a side-by-side, comparative view of product functionality, user interfaces and overall usability.

"Evaluating IP Asset Management software can be a daunting endeavor. The ipShootOut will allow company IP Leaders and decision makers to directly evaluate vendors based on real-world applications, apples-to-apples comparison." said Robert Williamson, president of ipPerformance Group. "This is an opportunity for vendors who claim greatness to show greatness."

Attendees can also visit vendors during unscripted breakout sessions to discuss additional topics and further explore key functionality specific to each product. As needs differ from one organization to the next, the breakout sessions also give attendees an opportunity to learn how different vendors can meet their unique requirements.
