Description:
After a successful 2014 IPO and strong showing at the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, GoPro shares dropped 12% on January 13 when the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office granted a cache of competing camera patents to Apple. One of these newly issued Apple patents discloses a wearable camera that could compete with GoPro’s high-definition cameras.
This lunch and learn seminar will explore the relationship between GoPro’s and Apple’s patent positions and their stock valuations. Topics covered will include:
- GoPro’s products, the exciting 2014 IPO presentation, and the impact on the consumer electronics industry;
- How Apple’s camera patents may pose challenges for GoPro’s technological advancement and the financial relationship between GoPro’s technology and stock valuation;
- Possible legal actions open to both Apple and GoPro, stock value reactions, and strategic responses relevant to sudden and unexpected shifts in technology leadership; and
- What company executives and technology leaders can do to limit permanent business damage as a result of technology shifts.
