- Carefully allocating precious startup funding
- Properly limiting disclosure of new products and concepts
- Understanding patent application timelines
- Knowing when a provisional application may be appropriate
Running an institutional (usually university) technology transfer office. Presentation given in Bangkok, Thailand as part of an ASEAN-USPTO Program on Technology Transfer - July 1, 2009
Commercialisation Director, Colin Hunsley, was invited to Krakow IP Symposium to talk on IP Commercialisation. IN particular, this presentation focuses on commercialising publically funded R&D and the role of IP.
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. Some myths are dispelled in the presentation, also.

What Startups Should Do To Protect Their Big Mobile Application Idea? The Imp...Thomas O. Dubuisson
In today's knowledge economy, intellectual property rights (hereafter "IP") are very important and powerful.
Unfortunately for (young) entrepreneur's, it's not always the first thing that will cross your mind when you start a business. Indeed, you get excited by your project, you have a multitude of activities and issues that you have to deal with, you start to spread your idea everywhere, etc.
These lines (pages) will help you to be aware of the crucial importance of IP in your business (plan). You should strongly consider all these specific IP tools (patent, trademark, design protection, copyright, etc) before launching your mobile app.
What can UF Innovate | Tech Licensing do for you? We connect innovators, investors and industry to move ideas out of the lab into the market, where those ideas can change the world.

Patents, Innovation and Entrepreneurship (october 15, 2014)Roger Royse
How does the patent system work? How can you use it to protect your company's intellectual property and safeguard your technology? How valuable are patents and how does your company enforce them (or defend against patent rights)? Have the recent and proposed reforms helped or hurt the startup community? Our panel will discuss these and other cutting edge issues dealing with the patent process and how your company can maximize value.
How To Protect Your Company's Intellectual PropertySecureDocs
This presentation covers cost-effective patent protection for inventions worldwide and protection tactics for unpatented trade secrets. It also gives a compelling argument for why companies should go against the status quo when filing for patents which can help save money and speed up the total patenting process.
The lecture covers topics such as:
* Which is best - licensing or start-up?
* Who owns my invention?
* How do I work with my Tech Transfer Office?

Connector Corner: Automate dynamic content and events by pushing a buttonDianaGray10
Here is something new! In our next Connector Corner webinar, we will demonstrate how you can use a single workflow to:
Create a campaign using Mailchimp with merge tags/fields
Send an interactive Slack channel message (using buttons)
Have the message received by managers and peers along with a test email for review
But there’s more:
In a second workflow supporting the same use case, you’ll see:
Your campaign sent to target colleagues for approval
If the “Approve” button is clicked, a Jira/Zendesk ticket is created for the marketing design team
But—if the “Reject” button is pushed, colleagues will be alerted via Slack message
Join us to learn more about this new, human-in-the-loop capability, brought to you by Integration Service connectors.

Neuro-symbolic is not enough, we need neuro-*semantic*Frank van Harmelen
Neuro-symbolic (NeSy) AI is on the rise. However, simply machine learning on just any symbolic structure is not sufficient to really harvest the gains of NeSy. These will only be gained when the symbolic structures have an actual semantics. I give an operational definition of semantics as “predictable inference”.
All of this illustrated with link prediction over knowledge graphs, but the argument is general.
