Untimely death of
John K. Borchard
We recently learned of the death of
John K. Borchard at the ACS Lead-
ership Conference in Fort Worth,
Texas, in January. John was a
friend to many members of SCHB.
He had written an article for this
issue of Small Chem Biz: “The
ACS Committee on Patents
and Related Matters” (See page
4)
John Borchardt operated his own
consulting/technical writing
firm, Southhaven Communica-
tions, since 2004. He was an
ACS career consultant for 15
years. He was the author of the
ACS/Oxford University Press
Book “Career Management for
Scientists and Engineers.” He
had more than 1500 articles
published in a variety of maga-
zines,
newspapers and encyclopedias. As
an industrial chemist, he held 30
U.S. and more than 125 interna-
tional patents and was the author
of more than 130 peer-reviewed
papers. He served on the ACS Joint
Board – Council Committee Patents
and Related Matters.

The ACS Committee on
Patents and Related
Matters
by
John K. Borchardt
No matter what the size of your
organization, patents can be major
importance to its financial success.
Once the almost exclusive domain
of companies, universities and units
of the federal government like the
national laboratories have become
quite active in obtaining patents and
licensing them. Therefore, patent-
related matters are important to
most ACS members including many
members of the Division of Small
Chemical Businesses.
The ACS Committee on Patents
and Related Matters (CPRM) is a
joint committee of the ACS Council
and the ACS Board of Directors. It
meets at each ACS National Meet-
ing, usually on Saturday. Much of its
work is carried out by its four
subcommittees.
The Legislation and Regulation
Subcommittee monitor intellec-
tual property issues of importance
to ACS members and chemists in
general. It works to insure that ACS
members’ interests are included in
debate and discussion about legisla-
tion and regulations affecting intel-
lectual property. When appropriate,
it visits policy makers and explores
collaborations with other intellectual
property organizations outside the
ACS. It maintains a liaison to the
copyright subcommittee of the ACS
Joint Board – Council Committee on
Publications.
The Education Subcommittee
provides information on intellectual
property issues that is useful and
needed to the general ACS member.
This includes a patent primer for
chemists.

The Awards Subcommittee seeks
to highlight and acknowledge the
intellectual property contributions of
chemists. One way it does this is to
solicit nominations for the National
Inventor’s Hall of Fame and the
National Medal of Technology and
other appropriate awards. This sub-
committee guides the nominations
through the appropriate ACS
approval process to gain official
ACS endorsement. It also consid-
ers new awards for innovation.

tion. NYSP2I is headquartered at
Rochester Institute of Technology
(RIT) and is a partnership be-
tween RIT, Clarkson University,
Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute,
University at Buffalo and the 10
NYS Regional Technology De-
velopment Centers.
The vision for the NYSP2I is
to foster the transformation and
development of sustainable busi-
nesses and organizations in New
York State in a collaborative
program committed to making
the State a leader in environmen-
tal stewardship. This is achieved
through reductions in toxic
chemical use, the efficient use of
raw materials, energy and water
and reductions in emissions to the
environment and waste genera-
tion. NYSP2I’s core programs
include Direct Client Assistance,
Green Technology Accelerator
Center (GTAC) and the Sustain-
able Supply Chain & Technol-
ogy (SSC&T) Program aimed at
assisting New York State compa-
nies increase profits while reduc-

Regional Meeting Report
By Joe Sabol
Program Chair
ACS regional meetings provide an
alternative to the large semi-annual
national meetings. SCHB plans
programming at four ACS regional
meetings in 2013 and we hope that
you can attend one or more. SCHB
has two models for regional meet-
ings: 1) two half-day sessions on
“resources” and “true stories” and
sponsorship of a coffee break, and 2)
sending a SCHB representative, with
poster and other materials, to so-
licit ideas and members. However,
SCHB can sponsor other sessions if
a member proposes and is willing to
organize.
In addition, ACS offers leader-
ship courses at regional meetings
and SCHB will sponsor the tuition
(a member benefit) for a member
who is interested in becoming more
involved in the division. If you are
aware of a 2013 regional meeting
close to your location and you would
like to participate, please contact
Program Chair Joe Sabol program@
acs-schb.org with your ideas.
Central Regional Meeting CERM,
Mt. Pleasant MI, May 15-18, 2013
SCHB is organizing “True Stories
of Success from Chemical En-
trepreneurs” and “Resources for

nesses” and a poster session. See:
http://2013cerm.sites.acs.org/. If
you would like to participate, submit
an abstract, or assist, please contact

The WRM website was not up and
SCHB’s program was not final at
press time, but new ideas can still be
added. If you are interested in help-
ing, please contact Sandra Thomp-
son sthompson@buchalter.com or
Joe Sabol.
Northeast Regional Meeting NERM,
