Next week I'll be speaking at the central region AUTM (Ass'n of University Technology Managers) meeting in Oklahoma City along with Terry Rea (USPTO Deputy Director) and Kevin Noonan (MBHB). The session is moderated by Angela Parsons (FR). See you there. I recently had some interesting discussions the new benefits of partnering with universities created by the AIA.
I won't make it there, but the National Association of Patent Practitioners (NAPP) annual conference will be August 18-21 in DC. [Brochure].
The big one is that if the university entity retains ownership to the IP, then infringers have no right to the prior user defense.
“I recently had some interesting discussions the new benefits of partnering with universities created by the AIA.”
I would be very interested in hearing about this, as this has been a hot topic in my firm.
