Community SUmmit: Legal & Licensing / Open Source Software in a World of Soft...Paris Open Source Summit
Recent developments in the law have made it clear that developers will be living with software patents for the foreseeable future. Some companies are responding by amassing patents at almost unprecedented prices. How can open source companies respond to these developments? How should we be thinking about these issues? Join Robert Blasi, a patent attorney and the head of Goodwin Procter's open source licensing practice, for a discussion of patents and patent strategy for open source companies and developers. Learn how and why software companies obtain patents, how patents can help the open source community, and how to prepare yourself to do business in a world of software patents.
This short presentation provides innovators and entrepreneurs with an overview of the basics of patent and IP protection from a business perspective. The aim and goal is to introduce non-patent experts to topics that, when properly introduced into their organizations, can help reduce risk and maximize the return on innovation investment.

Inventor Boot Camp Thomas Franklin 10 17 2009dr2tom
Introduction to Intellectual Property (IP)
Presentation includes types of IP - Trade Secrets, Copyrights, Trademarks, Patents; Timing Issues for Protecting IP; and Patent Strategy Models
It all starts with an epiphany. Every invention begins with a single “eureka moment” or some “brilliant revelation” that causes the inventor to take action.
These epiphanies become the idea seeds planted by inventors around the world. But we can only wish the process was as simple as adding water and fertilizer and waiting for the ideas to spring to life.
Inventions are not just patents to be hung on a wall. They are the starting point for a new business enterprise. So, not only does the inventor have to figure out how to create a working product or device, they also have to drive it forward, creating a business model that will enable it to survive. And that’s where we come in.
The Inventor Boot Camp will help you focus on what’s important. We will show you ways to leverage your time and resources, eliminate unnecessary work, and direct your energies towards driving your product forward. And most importantly, we will teach you what it takes to become successful.
Key Strategies to Learn
How to perform an early stage benefit/market analysis to decide in advance who your end customer will be. Once you fully understand who your customer is, only then can you begin to piece together your business model.
How to develop a profit-centric mindset, the same thinking used by most successful inventors, to maximize your odds of success.
How to decide if your invention needs to be patented. If it doesn’t, this can save you significant amounts of money.
Who you should be listening to. Advice will come from many sources, but not all of it will be good.
How to best position yourself for funding. Hear it directly from the people who have money to invest.
Intellectual property (IP) protection is crucial for businesses seeking to safeguard their innovative ideas, products, and processes. Patents and trade secrets are two primary avenues available to protect intellectual property, each offering distinct advantages and considerations. However, choosing between patents and trade secrets requires a careful evaluation of various factors. We discuss scenarios in which it is advisable to choose patents or trade secrets, helping you make informed decisions about protecting your intellectual property.

Memorandum Of Association Constitution of Company.pptseri bangash
www.seribangash.com
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.
https://seribangash.com/article-of-association-is-legal-doc-of-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.
www.seribangash.com
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.
https://seribangash.com/promotors-is-person-conceived-formation-company/
Capital Clause: This clause specifies the authorized capital of the company, i.e., the maximum amount of share capital the company is authorized to issue. It also mentions the division of this capital into shares and their respective nominal value.
Association Clause: It simply states that the subscribers wish to form a company and agree to become members of it, in accordance with the terms of the MOA.
Importance of Memorandum of Association:
Legal Requirement: The MOA is a legal requirement for the formation of a company. It must be filed with the Registrar of Companies during the incorporation process.
Constitutional Document: It serves as the company's constitutional document, defining its scope, powers, and limitations.
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.
https://seribangash.com/difference-public-and-private-company-law/
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.
Amendment of MOA:
While the MOA lays down the company's fundamental principles, it is not entirely immutable. It can be amended, but only under specific circumstances and in compliance with legal procedures. Amendments typically require shareholder
