FACTS: · Gemma and James have pooled their savings to create a start-up company to develop and market an idea they conceived while students together at MIT. They obtained permission to use a college lab during late night hours a few nights a week during their last term before graduating to work on the project. Then they were able to move to James’ parents’ garage, which they keep locked. · Now they need more sophisticated resources. They have created a prototype robotic device, called "Phoebe," that will aid first responders in disaster relief by sensing and locating survivors remotely in areas unsafe for humans and dogs to navigate. Phoebe's ensors will locate living beings, scan vitals and assess level of trauma. · Gemma and James have mapped out both private and public, civil, and military, applications of their invention, plus continued R & D improvement into next-phase capabilities. · They have not shared their theory, the prototype, their documentation or any of the associated hard and soft technologies with anyone, but anticipate needing to do so to obtain a funding source. · They are concerned about others learning of their technology ahead of their chance to obtain IP protection and customers, because they caught a nosy ex-classmate of theirs, Clarence, hanging around their lab. EXPLAIN AND DISCUSS IN A WELL ORGANIZED APA PAPER: 1. The type of business organization Gemma and James should use to organize their business entity and why. (HINT: Consider partnership, corporation, and limited liability company options.) 2. The four types of intellectual property (IP) and which of these have application to Gemma and James’ invention, Phoebe. Include case law that illustrates these at least two types of IP as applicable to Gemma and James situation and potential issues. 3. The steps Gemma and James should take to protect their invention. 4. It is possible Gemma and James will find themselves in one or more disputes over their invention or related matters. Explain alternative dispute r resolution (ADR) and how this can work to their advantage. Concepts that should be included in your essay: · Types of business organizations; considerations for organizing and operating a business; · Legal environment of business; considerations for management and training to meet business needs; · Types of IP and their application to Phoebe (include case law); · IP protection (part of case law requirement could be used here); · Relevant methodologies and practices as illustrated by major contributors or organizations (e.g. US PTO, WIPO); · IP litigation claims and defenses and types of alternative dispute resolution (ADR), including case law that illustrates types of ADR in practice (especially IP); · Considerations of business management for handling IP innovation, selection of IP protections; · Business compliance issues that Gemma and James should consider.

Npe antitrust challenges - writing sample

BinQiang Liu

This document discusses antitrust challenges related to non-practicing entities (NPEs) and their patent acquisition and trading activities. It begins by defining NPEs and noting that antitrust cases in the EU and US have established that NPE patent deals can be subject to antitrust scrutiny. The document then reviews some notable ex-ante and ex-post antitrust investigations of patent acquisitions and transfers in Europe and America to provide context. It argues that the impact of NPEs needs to be evaluated on a case-by-case basis and that regulating NPE behavior through antitrust laws presents challenges that require innovative solutions.

Patent trolls

Somerco Research

The document discusses measures to combat patent trolls in the United States and Europe. It describes how patent trolls operate by acquiring vague patents and demanding licensing fees from companies. Several proposals have been made in the US to curb abusive patent lawsuits, including disclosure requirements, fee shifting, and patent examiner training. In Europe, there is debate around a unified patent system which some argue could spread patent trolls across the EU and allow quick injunctions. The document advocates for financial support for SMEs facing patent disputes.

An OER Amnesty

Engineering Subject Centre

This paper will discuss perceived attitudes and observed barriers to the release of Open Educational Resources (OER) within UK Higher Education Institutions (HEIs) and Further Education Colleges (FECs). Through an OER pilot project involving seven partner institutions across the UK, a pattern of Intellectual Property Right (IPR)-related obstacles has arisen. The main issue faced by the project was academics' unfamiliarity with IPR when it came to releasing materials to the wider world outside of their institution and ‘normal’ publishing routes.

Topics will include: managing a software project, hiring tech people, hosting and operations, security, intellectual property, which programming language to use, and social media, with a dual emphasis on what to do and why to do it that way.

Intellectual Property Management

Professor Jon Cavicchi, UNH School of Law

This document discusses various tools and strategies for managing intellectual property. It begins by emphasizing the importance of putting all the pieces together effectively. It then provides examples of IP managers from the 1960s-1980s and discusses how IP management has changed for current professionals. The document also discusses IBM's strategy of filing many patents in order to generate licensing fees from a small percentage. It notes that IP management involves the law, business, licensing, and more. The rest of the document outlines numerous specific tools, strategies, and considerations for IP management in contexts like universities, litigation, portfolio development, and more.

Top Five Global Patent Concerns For 2015

Maya Fowell

The document discusses changes to the US patent litigation landscape as a result of the America Invents Act and how Google has adapted. It notes that the Act has led to a shift in common venues away from Texas to Delaware and fewer co-defendants being joined per case. Google is taking advantage of new patent office review proceedings allowed by the Act, closely tracking resulting decisions, and using proceedings to stay district court litigation. This has led Google to more exhaustively search for prior art and carefully time review filings to avoid statutory bars. Litigation and patent counsel are also more closely tied due to proceedings resembling litigation. At Google's scale, cases can be optimized by identifying duplicative areas and developing models, freeing up time for complex
