The propensity and speed of technology licensing: at LUISS Guido Carli Univer...Ian McCarthy
Licensing speed: There has been much research interest in the speed of innovation, although few consistent findings have emerged. In this study, we unpack the innovation process and focus on the commercialization stage to examine two questions: Which licensor and patent characteristics determine the speed of licensing? How does the speed of licensing impact the royalties and lumpsum payments to licensors? We addressed these questions by proposing that licensing speed is influenced by variables for licensor prominence (size and experience), licensor knowledge structuration (technological depth, technological breadth and experience), and patent appeal (forward citations, scope and complexity). We predict and find that these variables work to increase the size, complexity and duration of the licensing-out task, while also allowing licensors to take their time to review, negotiate and select agreements with higher royalty rates. These findings are counter to arguments for a fast-paced innovation strategy, as it suggests that for the commercialization stage of the innovation process the relationship between licensing speed and licensor royalty
rates rewards a ‘less haste, greater payoff approach.

The Patent Law Primer By Attorney Brantley ShumakerDawn Yankeelov
This is a Techfest Louisville 2017 presentation by Attorney Brantley Shumaker entitled, "A Patent Law Primer." Techfest Louisville is Technology Association of Louisville Kentucky event held every other year.
This document provides an overview of the patent process. It discusses how patents provide limited monopoly rights to prevent others from practicing an invention for up to 20 years. Key aspects of patentability include the invention being useful, novel, and non-obvious. The patent application process involves drafting a specification and claims, filing, responding to office actions, and iterating until the patent is allowed. Public disclosure prior to patenting can result in losing patent rights, so applications should be filed before any unprotected disclosure.

Computers and software inventions can be patented under utility patents in most jurisdictions. Some key points:
- Hardware aspects of computers (e.g. novel computer architecture) can be patented as machines or manufactures under utility patents.
- Software inventions are also patentable if they produce a "useful, concrete and tangible result". This includes applications, algorithms, user interfaces etc. Merely presenting information or abstract ideas on a generic computer would not be patentable.
- Business methods implemented via software can also be patented, though some jurisdictions have additional criteria for such patents.
- Specific graphical user interface features and layouts can be covered by design patents if they satisfy the criteria of being novel and non-obvious design.
Here are answers to the questions in the chat window:
- Computer applications would come under utility patents in the US. In India, software per se is not patentable, but software with a hardware component added could be patented.
- A plant patent in the US offers intellectual property protection for novel asexually reproduced plant varieties. In India, plant varieties are protected by registration under the Protection of Plant Varieties and Farmers' Rights (PPV&FR) Act.
- Yes, the design of an electrical circuit can be patented. This would typically be filed as a design patent in the US and as an industrial design patent in India. The design must be novel and non-obvious to qualify for a design patent
This document provides an overview of intellectual property rights (IPR) in India. It discusses the main types of IPR which include patents, designs, trademarks, and copyrights.

Here are the key points about a divisional patent application in India:
- A divisional application can be filed when the original application claims more than one invention.
- It is filed to divide the scope of the original application into separate applications for each invention claimed.
- This is done voluntarily by the applicant or in response to an objection raised by the patent examiner during prosecution.
- The divisional application can only be filed when the original application is still pending.
- It inherits the priority date of the original parent application.
- The subject matter of the divisional must be supported by the disclosure of the original application.
- Divisional applications are a useful tool to pursue patent protection for
The document discusses registration of industrial designs in India and abroad, the Patent Cooperation Treaty (PCT), and the patent act in India. It provides details on:

Computer software inventions can generally be patented under a utility patent in most jurisdictions. Some key points:
- Utility patents protect the functional and operational aspects of software inventions. This is the most common type of patent for software.
- Software inventions that involve a novel and non-obvious technical solution to a technical problem can qualify for a utility patent. The invention needs to have a technical effect or impact.
- Purely abstract software ideas, algorithms, business methods, etc. without a technical implementation may not be patentable subject matter. The eligibility criteria vary between jurisdictions.
- In addition to utility patents, design patents can also protect the visual/aesthetic design aspects of a software user interface in some cases.

Lifting the Corporate Veil. Power Point Presentationseri bangash
"Lifting the Corporate Veil" is a legal concept that refers to the judicial act of disregarding the separate legal personality of a corporation or limited liability company (LLC). Normally, a corporation is considered a legal entity separate from its shareholders or members, meaning that the personal assets of shareholders or members are protected from the liabilities of the corporation. However, there are certain situations where courts may decide to "pierce" or "lift" the corporate veil, holding shareholders or members personally liable for the debts or actions of the corporation.
Here are some common scenarios in which courts might lift the corporate veil:
Fraud or Illegality: If shareholders or members use the corporate structure to perpetrate fraud, evade legal obligations, or engage in illegal activities, courts may disregard the corporate entity and hold those individuals personally liable.
Undercapitalization: If a corporation is formed with insufficient capital to conduct its intended business and meet its foreseeable liabilities, and this lack of capitalization results in harm to creditors or other parties, courts may lift the corporate veil to hold shareholders or members liable.
Failure to Observe Corporate Formalities: Corporations and LLCs are required to observe certain formalities, such as holding regular meetings, maintaining separate financial records, and avoiding commingling of personal and corporate assets. If these formalities are not observed and the corporate structure is used as a mere façade, courts may disregard the corporate entity.
Alter Ego: If there is such a unity of interest and ownership between the corporation and its shareholders or members that the separate personalities of the corporation and the individuals no longer exist, courts may treat the corporation as the alter ego of its owners and hold them personally liable.
Group Enterprises: In some cases, where multiple corporations are closely related or form part of a single economic unit, courts may pierce the corporate veil to achieve equity, particularly if one corporation's actions harm creditors or other stakeholders and the corporate structure is being used to shield culpable parties from liability.
