This document discusses intellectual property ownership and management. It outlines common IP ownership issues that arise, such as legal versus beneficial ownership and problems that can occur with co-ownership. It recommends solutions like getting written agreements that outline IP ownership and assignments from the beginning of a project. The document also discusses day-to-day IP management practices, such as appointing an IP manager, conducting audits of your IP assets, registering your rights, advertising IP notices, keeping contracts up to date, and enforcing and defending against threats to your IP.
A summary of terms that should be included in licence agreements. Presented at an ASEAN-USPTO Program on Technology Transfer in Bangkok, Thailand, July 2, 2009.
Patent licensing involves granting exploitation rights over a patent to a licensee rather than exploiting the patent directly. This forms a legal contract that spells out the rights and obligations of both parties. Licenses can be revoked if obligations like sales targets are not met, while assigning a patent transfers ownership permanently. Licensors seek to profit from royalties paid by licensees over the patent term. Performance obligations in licenses help ensure steady progress in developing and marketing the patented invention.
Stratus IP Law Group at District I/O on May 30stratuspresents
This document discusses considerations around intellectual property (IP) for startups. It notes that patents can provide the statutory right to exclude others from an invention for a limited time, in exchange for publicly disclosing the invention. While some view patents skeptically, the document explains that technology giants like Google and Facebook actively pursue patents to protect their innovations from lawsuits. It advises startups to consult a patent attorney and avoid common mistakes like publicly disclosing an idea before filing a patent or relying only on a provisional patent application.
What is a Material Transfer Agreement and when do you need it? The presentation discusses how MTAs enable exchange of information between companies and sharing of materials
This document discusses intellectual property rights (IPRs) and achieving balance. It notes that IPRs have become polarized in certain sectors like biotech and music. While IPRs are needed, some argue expansions have gone too far. The public also reacts negatively to aggressive IPR tactics. To achieve balance, IPR rules should go back to their original purpose - a deal where society rewards creators for a limited time in return for contributing new knowledge or art. Balance is needed so IPRs do not extend beyond this deal and segment markets unfairly. Developing IP markets could also benefit countries by attracting talent and investment.

Session V. Estoppel and Privity in US PTO Post-Grant ProceedingsWilmerHale
This document summarizes a presentation on estoppel and privity in post-grant proceedings at the USPTO. It discusses how estoppel applies to petitioners as well as those in privity, including real parties in interest. Privity is a fact-dependent concept evaluated on a case-by-case basis considering control, financial contribution, and other factors. Issues of privity typically arise when the patent owner seeks to prevent a proceeding or assert estoppel, and presenters provided practice tips for evaluating privity and addressing related arguments.
Developing an intellectual property strategy involves leveraging a company's IP assets along with other business assets to create value. An IP strategy has three goals: securing freedom to operate, establishing control over IP assets, and developing an exclusionary patent portfolio for the company's products in its market. The starting point is understanding the company's business, customers, products and competitors. The strategy should identify any third party IP that could obstruct plans and determine how to address potential issues through designing around patents, licensing, or challenging validity. It should also establish clear ownership and control over the company's own IP assets and pursue patent claims that provide meaningful exclusion in the valuable features of its products. Executing the strategy requires policing the market to determine how
Annual Symposium of Dutch AIPPI at Zeist, 13 March 2013. Presentation on the status of protection for trade secrets for the 2013 Dutch AIPPI group symposium - prior to the draft EU Directive
This document discusses patent strategy and the changing role of patents. It notes that while the number of patents granted and infringement cases filed have increased, the percentage of patent litigation relative to all federal lawsuits and average damages awarded have remained relatively steady after adjusting for inflation. It defines different types of intellectual property protection like patents, copyrights, trademarks, and trade secrets. It also discusses how to evaluate patent risk versus reward, the importance of freedom-to-operate opinions, and how a well-documented patent strategy and review process can help defend against claims of willful patent infringement.

It provides resources for IP assistance and stresses the importance of safeguarding IP through ongoing protection.
Mergers & Acquisitions: Structures, Terms and Considerations - IP Due DiligenceParsons Behle & Latimer
This document discusses IP due diligence considerations for mergers and acquisitions. It outlines key areas to examine such as patent portfolios, trademarks, copyrights, trade secrets, and potential liability. For each area, it lists important documents to review and issues to evaluate to fully understand the IP being acquired and any risks. The conclusion emphasizes that the scope of due diligence depends on the size of the acquisition and value of the IP, and that specialized IP attorneys should handle the review.
The document discusses several key points regarding intellectual property (IP):
1) IP is likely the most valuable asset of many businesses, as the value of intangible assets like trademarks, patents, and copyrights makes up the majority of market value for S&P 500 companies.
2) All businesses, not just technology companies, rely on some form of IP like trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets.
3) Failing to properly protect and manage IP can kill business deals and leave companies vulnerable to lawsuits. Proper ownership and licensing of IP is important.

The document discusses various forms of intellectual property protection including patents, industrial designs, trademarks, copyrights, and trade secrets. It provides examples of the types of innovations that can be protected under each category and describes the basic registration processes and requirements for patents, trademarks, and designs in India. Key government agencies responsible for intellectual property are also mentioned.
This document discusses clonal selection and its use in fruit breeding. It defines clones as progeny from a single plant produced through asexual reproduction. Clones are homogeneous, heterozygous, and maintain genetic variation through environmental effects rather than genetics. Clonal selection is useful for conserving heterosis over many generations. Superior clones can be isolated from local varieties, introduced varieties, or intercrossed populations. The breeding procedure involves multi-year selection and testing of clones from initial populations to identify superior clones for release as new varieties. Clonal selection is effective for genetic improvement in asexually propagated crops but clones are highly prone to new diseases and cannot create new genetic variability.
The document provides an overview of trademarks, copyrights, and patents. Trademarks protect distinctive signs that identify business sources and products. Copyright protects original creative works. Patents protect novel, non-obvious, and useful inventions for a limited period. Key requirements for each include trademarks distinguishing business sources, copyrights requiring creative works fixed in a medium, and patents requiring inventions be useful, novel, and non-obvious.
This document provides an overview of intellectual property rights from an Indian perspective. It defines intellectual property as creations of the mind used in commerce. The main types of intellectual property rights covered are patents, trademarks, industrial designs, copyright, and geographical indications. Case studies show some examples of intellectual property infringement in India. The conclusion emphasizes that intellectual property rights reward creativity and protect innovations, outlining steps taken by the Indian government to strengthen these protections.
This document provides an overview of intellectual property (IP) including the types of IP (patents, trademarks, copyright), governing bodies and laws, and key concepts around IP rights.
1. It discusses the World Intellectual Property Organization (WIPO) which promotes IP protection worldwide and is headquartered in Geneva, Switzerland.
2. The major types of IP are outlined as functional/technical inventions protected by patents, artistic works protected by copyright, and symbols/logos protected by trademarks.
3. The rights provided by patents, copyright, and trademarks are territorial in nature and regulated by country-specific laws, though international treaties allow cross-border cooperation on IP issues.

Legal Privacy and Ethical Issues in Computer Security.pptxKRITARTHBANSAL1
This document discusses several legal, privacy, and ethical issues related to computer security. It addresses topics such as protecting intellectual property through copyrights, patents, and trade secrets; ownership rights of employees and employers; software failures and customer responsibilities; computer crime; and privacy issues. It also introduces ethics and discusses how ethics are important for restricting behavior where laws are impractical or impossible to define. Key concepts covered include privacy versus security, accuracy of information, property ownership of data, and appropriate access to information.
This document discusses protecting intellectual property (IP) rights when working with others. It notes that 80% of IP losses come from employees and contractors, and suppliers and big customers often try to access proprietary information. The key aspects to protect include secrets, the right to use IP, and the right to license IP in the future. Confidentiality agreements should specify who is involved, what information is covered, and time periods. Special attention should be given to contractor agreements, joint development deals, government funding obligations, and marketing agreements to avoid losing IP rights.
The document provides an overview of intellectual property issues that are important for startups, including what types of intellectual property exist, how to determine ownership of intellectual property, and common contractual provisions and other legal issues that startups should be aware of such as open source licensing, restrictions on business, and privacy concerns. It was presented by attorneys from Fenwick & West LLP, a law firm that focuses on technology companies, to provide a basic introduction to intellectual property issues relevant to startups.
Buying & Selling IP (Series: Intellectual Property 201)Financial Poise
IP rights are an important class of intangible assets that can be assigned or licensed to generate revenue. Indeed, some companies do not make or sell products; their entire revenue is derived from the licensing of their patents. Suffice it to say, licensing revenue has become a significant source of value in the global intellectual property economy. This webinar will help you better understand the complex legal issues associated with IP transactions.

Intellectual Property Strategy

Intellectual Property Strategy - Where do I
start?
Regardless of the nature of your business, you will be using and creating intellectual property all the
time. This article helps you to decide where intellectual property should be on your list of priorities. It
also aims to help you develop a plan for your intellectual property by providing information about the
processes, time and costs involved in protecting intellectual property rights.
What is intellectual property?
Intellectual property is a collection of intangible property which can be protected by law. Intellectual
property rights entitle you to stop others from using your intellectual property. These rights can be
assigned from one owner to another, licensed and used as security for borrowing.
Who is entitled to intellectual property rights?
The first owner of the intellectual property rights in a work is usually the creator of the work. There is a
key exception to this general rule in that intellectual property rights in works created in the course of
employment usually belong to the employer.
How can I tell what intellectual property is important to my business?
Are inventions important to your business? See PATENTS
Are trade secrets or other confidential information (e.g. customer lists) important to your
business? See CONFIDENTIAL INFORMATION
Do you hope to draw in business by developing a brand or other distinctive “get-up”? See
TRADE MARKS
Will your company create valuable works such as software, documents, music, broadcast
or website content? See COPYRIGHT AND DATABASE RIGHTS
Is the appearance of your product important, for example, because it is a fashion item or
interior design piece? See DESIGNS
What do I have to do to protect my intellectual property?
Some rights arise automatically on creation of the work: these are copyright, database right, design
right, rights in passing off (see trade marks) and some rights in confidential information. Other rights
can only be obtained by application to the Intellectual Property Office (in the UK). Patents, registered
trade marks and registered designs fall into this category. Intellectual property rights are national
rights; you must ensure that your registrations cover all the countries where you want protection.

Intellectual Property - Patents
A patent is available to protect certain inventions. Some countries (excluding the UK) have a

This know-how can be protected as confidential information.

This document outlines an IP strategy presented by Cordelia Mashau. The vision is to be a world-class innovation agency that enables technological innovation to benefit South Africa's socio-economics. The mission is to deliver socio-economic value through technological innovation across the economy. The presentation discusses different types of intellectual property protection including patents, designs, trademarks, copyright, plant breeders' rights, and trade secrets. It provides advantages and disadvantages of each approach and things to consider when selecting an IP strategy, such as commercialization strategy and target markets.
This document discusses the advantages and disadvantages of patent protection versus trade secret protection. Some key advantages of patents are the right to exclude others from using the invention and being viewed as an innovator. However, patents require full disclosure of the invention and provide limited protection for 20 years. Trade secrets can potentially last forever but provide no right to exclude others who independently develop the same invention. The document analyzes factors companies should consider when deciding between patent and trade secret strategies for protecting their intellectual property.

This document discusses the future of social media and analyzes social networks. It explores concepts like social capital, bonding and bridging ties, and the structure of social graphs. Weak ties are said to provide new information while strong ties provide emotional support. Up to 42% of group time may be spent on social grooming like gossip. True social graphs are more complex than online networks, including different types of relationships and temporary ties. Communication happens differently across networks of varying sizes and structures. The influence of hubs in social networks is also examined.
This document summarizes key findings from social media research and trends in 2011. It discusses concepts like social capital and how social networks can provide both bridging and bonding connections. It also covers topics such as participation inequality in online communities, the difference between online and real-world social graphs, and debates around privacy and data ownership on social platforms.
