Prenuptial Patenting: Responsible Engagement with Engineering Firms
You have your big idea and now it’s time to breathe it into existence, but you need some help with the development. Like many others, you may turn to the aid of an engineering firm or dev shop. This relationship is a marriage of sorts. But it’s a marriage that is designed to inevitably end in divorce. How cleanly, smoothly, and successfully this separation goes depends on the steps that you take before it officially begins.
Dr. Ashley Sloat, President and Director of Patent Strategy at Aurora, leads a discussion into Responsible Engagement with Engineering Firms, or what we affectionately refer to here as “Prenuptial Patenting”. Ashley and our all star patent panel walk you down the aisle and explore everything you need to know to experience marital bliss and an amicable divorce with your engineering partners. This talk covers the full life cycle from vetting partners to post development concerns and everything in between – with particular focus on relationship complexities like IP ownership, assignment from engineering firm inventors back to you, and how to avoid the traps of viral IP.

Federal Incentives That Can Show You the Money
Federal Incentives That Can Show You the Money
As the country continues to fight its way out of the economic downturn, businesses and their owners are constantly looking for ways to increase cash flow. Several Federal tax incentives are available to help you meet this goal. Contrary to popular belief, you don’t need to be in a high-tech industry to benefit from the Research and Experimentation Credit. Nor do you need to place in service an entire “green” building to benefit from the Energy Efficient Commercial Buildings Deduction or other energy incentives. Even if your business currently isn’t producing taxable income, you may still be able to use these incentives to recover taxes paid in prior years or shelter future taxable income.
This presentation discusses key elements of:
• Research and Development Tax Credits
• Domestic Production Activities Deduction
• Energy Efficient Building Deduction
Michael Silvio is Managing Director with CBIZ MHM, LLC. He leads the San Diego and Orange
County offices’ Research & Development (R&D) and Energy Incentives Tax Credit Services Group.

All you need to know about SSI for Corporates and IoT – Heather Vescent
https://ssimeetup.org/gaps-corporate-iot-identity-heather-vescent-webinar-35/
Heather Vescent, the owner of The Purple Tornado a foresight and strategic intelligence consultancy, explains how Digital identity gaps in Corporate and IoT Identity can be solved from an NPE (non-person entity) point of view. The webinar will answer: What is an NPE? How is an NPE both different and similar to human identity? What is the relationship humans have with NPEs? How is NPE identity more complex than the identity we know today? What considerations do we need to make when developing identity solutions for the future?
The webinar defines a taxonomy for Non-Person Entities (NPEs), defines the relationships NPEs have with humans and each other, and identifies 11 market gaps in today’s technology solutions, that have the potential to be solved using decentralized identity technology. Industry-wide solutions must be forged collaboratively in order to address a broad set of digital identity and data privacy problems.
This webinar shares research funded by the Department of Homeland Security Science & Technology, Cybersecurity directorate by The Purple Tornado, with Heather Vescent as the Principal Investigator. Vescent has delivered research insights to governments and corporations in digital identity, military learning, payments, transactions, and new economic models. She is the writer/producer of 14 documentaries and short films about future technology. Her clients include US & UK governments, SWIFT, CitiVentures, Disney, IEEE, mid-size companies and start-ups.

How to Answer the Most Important Question In Your Interview
Recorded on March 20, 2024
,
In a competitive job market, landing an interview is one of the biggest challenges for job seekers. However, once you find yourself in a face-to-face interview with a hiring manager, how do you come across as the best candidate for the position?
Job interviews are all about diffusing risk. After all, a company would never post a role unless it knew it absolutely needed someone who could help them get to the next level. By chatting with prospects, the hiring manager can get an idea of existing talent on the market and what they can provide.
That's why knowing what's at stake is critical to any job you apply for. Outside of being collaborative, being technical, and having your personal stories down, knowing what matters to your bosses, colleagues, and the industry at large are key to being successful.
Learn how you can know what's at stake in your job search and learn to tell a story in your interviews that help you stand out in this webinar from Albert Qian, founder of Albert's List. Over the past 11 years, Albert's List has connected more than 50,000 job seekers, recruiters, and hiring managers to improve career outcomes.
In this video, Albert covers how you answer the most important question in your interviews, including:
Where you can go to research what's at stake for the companies you're interviewing at.
How knowing what's at stake sets you apart from the competition.
How you can use what's at stake as a part of your job interview.
Answers that stand out—and answers that will not get you to the next round.
Ongoing job search trends and where to look for your next opportunity.
Resources that can be used as job seekers conduct their job hunt.
And more!

How to Recession-Proof Your Job Search in 2024
The news might say that the job market is healthy, but look around and anything but. Just look at some of the latest headlines:
Unity announced a layoff of 25% of their staff.
Duolingo, citing AI, cut most of their translation contractors.
Google, believing that its AI is ready to sell better than human beings, is about to re-organize 30,000 employees.
More than 425,000 tech workers have been laid off since the beginning of 2022.
Banking firms, noting higher interest rates and industry consolidation, cut 20,000 workers in 2023.
Even though 2024 promises to be a better year, uncertainty continues to reign. A combination of geopolitical conflicts, presidential elections, high inflation, and corporate uncertainty threatens to undo the post-pandemic recovery, sending workers down yet another roller coaster.

At Albert's List, we've spent the past 7 years examining the job search while serving a community of 50,000+ professionals across all career stages and types. In the process, we've developed frameworks that reveal the secrets of finding the next job while keeping the journey from becoming too overwhelming.

We’ll walk through:
A visual way to look at the job search, and how professionals of all levels can understand what they are expected to demonstrate during their hunt for work.
How to use AI tools to make your job search smarter and more efficient.
Why leveraging a community to keep you accountable can be the best way to foster success.
How to organize your job search to stay focused
What's changed for job seekers in the current economy, and what's stayed the same from the Great Resignation era.

A Memorandum of Association (MOA) is a legal document that outlines the fundamental principles and objectives upon which a company operates. It serves as the company's charter or constitution and defines the scope of its activities. Here's a detailed note on the MOA:
Contents of Memorandum of Association:
Name Clause: This clause states the name of the company, which should end with words like "Limited" or "Ltd." for a public limited company and "Private Limited" or "Pvt. Ltd." for a private limited company.

Registered Office Clause: It specifies the location where the company's registered office is situated. This office is where all official communications and notices are sent.
Objective Clause: This clause delineates the main objectives for which the company is formed. It's important to define these objectives clearly, as the company cannot undertake activities beyond those mentioned in this clause.

Liability Clause: It outlines the extent of liability of the company's members. In the case of companies limited by shares, the liability of members is limited to the amount unpaid on their shares. For companies limited by guarantee, members' liability is limited to the amount they undertake to contribute if the company is wound up.

Protection of Members: It protects the interests of the company's members by clearly defining the objectives and limiting their liability.
External Communication: It provides clarity to external parties, such as investors, creditors, and regulatory authorities, regarding the company's objectives and powers.

Binding Authority: The company and its members are bound by the provisions of the MOA. Any action taken beyond its scope may be considered ultra vires (beyond the powers) of the company and therefore void.
