Optional Lunch Talks by Corporate Sponsors
Optional lunch talks open to all attendees (those not purchasing lunch may attend the talks)
(1) Steve Rutt, Foley & Lardner ; Bruce Kisliuk, U.S. Patent Office; Joe Fragala, NanoInk; Paul Thurk, InnovaLight
Nanotechnology, IP Wealth, and Patent Office Trends
Intellectual property (IP) is critical to the survival of many companies, particularly young nanotechnology companies, which seek to develop valuable patent portfolios as a basis for corporate value. The Patent Office increasingly must examine nanotechnology patent applications and, recently, has been willing to provide the public with its views on nanotechnology patent policies. The Patent Office wants to listen to the public. In the dot com era, the Patent Office was criticized for some of its patenting decisions, and there is a general hope that nanotechnology patents will be a boom to nanotechnology, not a basis for criticism. Both industry and government perspectives on cutting edge patent trends will emphasized, including a review of the PTO's nanotechnology patent perspectives.
(2) Denis Rice, Neil Smith & Duane Nash, Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk and Rabkin
The Nanotech Entrepreneur: Legal Opportunities and Pitfalls
The major considerations in organizing and funding the nanotech business and in securing its rights to patents and other intellectual property.
