This document discusses PowerDsine's intellectual property (IP) strategy of aggressively obtaining patents related to Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology and enforcing those patents through litigation to become the market leader with over 80% market share. It outlines PowerDsine's history of innovation in PoE, contributing to the IEEE 802.3af standard. It also details PowerDsine's extensive portfolio of over 20 PoE-related patents and pending patent applications, as well as other intellectual property. Finally, it discusses PowerDsine's litigation efforts to enforce its patents against infringers and how most cases have settled successfully.
Prize4life - November 14th
Prize4Life is using incentive prizes to accelerate ALS research and treatment development. They have run several successful prize competitions, including a $1 million prize for an ALS biomarker that was awarded in 2011. Their most recent prize was an ALS prediction prize, launched in July 2012 in partnership with IBM's DREAM project, which had over 1000 solvers competing to predict patient progression. The prize was won on November 13, 2012 and demonstrated how incentive prizes can attract many new problem solvers.

E_toro_30.1.2013
Yoni Assia presented on the disruption of traditional banking by social finance and networks. He argued that banks have focused on cost reductions after the financial crisis but have overlooked how to adapt to the new information economy and age of networks. Social financial services are emerging that incorporate trends like consumerization, gamification, and open data networks. Companies like eToro are examples of this disruption by allowing users to socially invest and copy trades in a transparent community.
Martin Gerstel - The Art of Negotiation
Here are a few possible responses from you in this negotiating scenario:
1. "Five percent is our minimum requirement to cover our costs and risks. However, I'm open to discussing other deal structures if two percent royalty doesn't work for you." This leaves the door open for alternative proposals rather than sticking rigidly to a number.
2. "Our product development costs justify a five percent royalty. However, I understand your perspective. What if we split the difference and agree on three and a half percent?" This offers a compromise position.
3. "Can you help me understand why two percent is the maximum you can pay? Perhaps if we better understand each other's perspectives, we can find a mutually agreeable solution."

Ilan Cohn - Brazil Not Only Soccer
Brazil has emerged as an economic powerhouse and island of stability during the 2009 global economic slowdown. It has the 5th largest population and GDP in the world, and is expected to grow at 5% in 2010. Brazil is shifting from an exporter of commodities to an importer of knowledge and intellectual property. Israel is similarly an importer of commodities but exporter of knowledge and IP, making the two countries a natural match. There is growing interest from both Brazilian and Israeli companies in technology and IP-based deals between the two nations.

AutoAgronom's system outperformed competitors by better controlling nutrient levels, moisture, and oxygen availability in soils.
Roy Man - UI Pitfalls & UX Approach
UI elements should look like UI elements and buttons should look clickable. Animations should be under 200ms to avoid appearing slow. Speed improvements benefit all users while other features may only benefit 5-10% of users. Provide context and explain the end goal to help users overcome things they don't understand. Focus on communicating values and benefits achieved through product use rather than just features. Measure key indicators first before adding more metrics to avoid getting lost in too much data. Use cohorts and funnels to identify where users may be getting stuck. Popular tools for analytics include Mixpanel and Intercom while books like The Inmates are Running the Asylum and Running Lean provide guidance on UX best practices.
