What Every Principal Investigator Needs to Know about Intellectual Property & Patent Laws
Principal Investigators Association, Aug 2010, Pages: 90
90 Minute Audio Conference presented by Howard B Rockman
You could be sitting on a potential gold mine!
It’s right under your nose, in the form of intellectual property created by you & your lab. Don’t let your invention representing millions in potential revenue sit idle simply because you aren’t aware of IP & patent protection laws and other key aspects of moving innovations from your lab to the market.
Extracting science from your lab and getting discoveries is hard enough, but understanding the patent & IP maze is an even tougher challenge.
Like most researchers, you might be overwhelmed by questions like; are my discoveries patent-eligible? Should they be? How can I best protect my IP? Who owns my IP? Nationally-recognized patent and intellectual property attorney Howard B. Rockman, JD, will answer these questions and many more in a timely 90-minute audio conference.
Take-Away Benefits:
- Step-by-step approach to qualify your “innovation” as your “invention”. Attain expert tips to define your “invention” as patent-eligible.
- Implications of the U.S. Patent system for PIs: Cut through the confusing legal jargon and protect your rights!
- Run-down of vital evidence for categorizing your discovery. If you don't know how to categorize your invention, you won't be able to protect it.
- Ownership of patent rights - - You? Your University/Institution? The Government Funding Agency? After you've developed your invention, get the low-down on ownership.
- Take the guesswork out of patent royalties: do you, the PI, receive any monetary recognition for your innovation?
