Mark your calendars and plan to join the AACC and BABC in collaboration with the Marin Cricket Club at the annual Clashes for the Ashes Cricket Match. Watch some exciting cricket, enjoy an Aussie-Style BBQ lunch, Aussie beer and wine and fine British beverages. This is a great day out for all the family with games for the kids at half time and a bouncy castle! - set up your chairs and enjoy the sun in Larkspur.

We will also have several great raffle prizes! 
 

Hosted by the AACCBABC and the Australian and British Consulate-Generals.


Every year hundreds of spectators from around the Bay Area turn up to watch a veritable feast of cricketing drama. A game of intense competition and usually an excruciatingly close finish is guaranteed. 
 
There's no better way to spend a summer's day than reclining behind the boundary rope in front of a backdrop of beautiful Mount Tamalpais and pretty marquees with their fluttering flags. Enjoy strawberries and cream and Pimms and Aussie BBQ fayre washed down by the best of British and Australian beers.
 
Bring friends and family, including the smallest children who will especially love the special kids' games staged at the lunch break.
 
This year it's anyone's guess who will win. So come on down to Piper Park on September 9th and cheer on your team! (Polite sledging allowed!)

Sep 19    Autonomous Vehicle Technology: Future Patent War Battleground? (Hosted by BABC Patron Member Squire Patton Boggs)
The automotive industry is the third largest research and development (R&D) spender in the
US, with car and truck manufacturers and component makers being the traditional sources of such investments. As the importance of electronic and battery technology to the automotive industry has grown, however, R&D investment from the technology sector has increased in parallel. The past couple of years have likewise seen automakers, suppliers and technology companies entering into collaborative partnerships at a level previously unforeseen. Connected and autonomous vehicles (CAV) in some ways necessitate cross-industry alliances
and research partnerships.

These increasing levels of R&D investment in CAV technology have naturally led to surges
in patent applications from both the automotive and technology industries. Some of these
patents may no doubt prove to be fundamental building blocks. As with other nascent
technology – think telecommunications, IT and smart phones – the rush to patent new
innovations has led to patent wars. Is the CAV arena next? If so or even if only a possibility,
how can such wars be avoided?

Our panel of experts from various sectors of the CAV industry will discuss:

• Who are the early leaders in CAV technology patents and patent applications?
• In the absence of broad CAV industry participation in one or more standard setting organizations (SSOs) that require participants’ commitments to FRAND licensing, what are companies doing to ensure freedom to operate?
• How are businesses assessing whether to license technology in or out from/to others who are, or who may become, competitors?
• Will the absence of broad adoption of standards impact the usefulness of CAV technology? For example, will vehicles claimed to be “connected” truly be connected?

David S. Elkins, chair of the global Intellectual Property & Technology Practice, will moderate
the panel.

Sep 20    Be (Transaction) Ready (Hosted by BABC Corporate Member Shirlaws)
What few business owners know… Some businesses have a long-term plan to transition ownership while others simply wait for the inevitable offer or try to sell at the wrong time.

 We help you understand how business buyers will evaluate your company and what you can do to prepare for an ownership transition and increase the equity value of your business.

We’ll also explore why it’s important whether you want to pass the business on to the next generation or eventually sell.    What we will cover in the session: Fun exercises to show why some businesses perform better than others and have a higher equity value. Why this is the right time to be preparing your business. The predictability of the revenue cycles, why businesses get stuck, and how it relates to when to transition ownership.
