Klarquist litigator Salumeh Loesch moderated the panel, and John Vandenberg provided guidance on how to efficiently manage patent litigation. Other speakers included Sam Liccardo, Mayor of San Jose, and John Cabeca, director of the Silicon Valley Regional Office of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. You can watch the discussion here.

EDAC consists primarily of younger, start-up companies emerging in the EDA industry.
