A Message from Jake Schaible, your LES Health Care Sector (HCS) Chair

Dear fellow members of the LES HCS,

Hello and welcome to our 2nd Quarter e-Blast.

As is now our tradition, I’d like to highlight a few key time sensitive LES topics which we in the Healthcare Sector feel may be of interest to you personally:  

• LESI Annual/LES Spring Meeting (May 4-7 in Chicago)
  pre-registration ends TODAY, the 10th of April.
  
  Check it out online at:
  http://www.usa-canada.les.org/meetings/2008spring/register.asp
  After today, you can still signup onsite, but this will save some coin and hassle.

Speaking of the Chicago meeting, have you seen the EXTENSIVE line up of
senior level industry leaders who have agreed to speak at this event?

• Ed Harrigan, Sr. VP, Worldwide Business Development, Pfizer
• Thomas Hofstaetter, Sr. VP, Corporate Business Development, Wyeth Pharmaceuticals
• Sean Murphy, VP, Global Licensing & New Business Development, Abbott Laboratories
• Charles D. Murray, Managing Director, DuPont Intellectual Assets & Licensing
• Thomas Picone, VP, Strategic Alliances, Schering-Plough
• Gino Santini, Sr. VP, Corporate Strategy and Business Development, Eli Lilly & Co.
• Jeff Weedman, Vice President, External Business Development, Procter & Gamble
• Robert Wills, Vice President, Johnson & Johnson
• Barbara Yanni, VP and Chief Licensing Officer, Merck
• Michael Yeomans, Sr.VP Global Business Development, Bayer Schering AG

And many, many others....and the above is all just on the first day! We also have a spectacular Healthcare Specific MiniPlenary, where among other things we will be reporting the results of the LES BioPharma Royalty Survey, our proprietary, in depth review of over 250 industry deals inked in the last three years. In addition, a remarkable collection of Workshops and a promising Addon regarding aging.

Remember, this meeting is not a typical LES seasonal meeting, but the LES Winter Meeting, the LES Spring meeting, and the LES International Annual Meeting – all rolled into one! Bottom line – you don’t want to miss this one.

• 2008 Membership Drive. Is there someone in your company or professional network who is new to licensing? Share LES with a peer or newbie!

  And going to the BIO International Convention in San Diego? Perfect!
  Consider the BIO/LES Basics of Business Development Course, June 14-16th
