Enrollment: Unlimited: Advance sign-up required
Sign-up by 01/29
UPOP Mentor, Herbert R. ("Dick") Schulze ’67 presents an informative and engaging talk about unrecognized women inventors
True stories of women inventors who patented their inventions – including such fundamental advances as windshield wipers and spread-spectrum technology – so far ahead of their time that they went unrecognized and unrewarded, sometimes for years and sometimes for their entire lives.
A graduate of MIT, (EE) and the Univ. of Chicago law school, Dick is licensed to practice law in Cal., Col., Nev., and SD, and before the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office. Following service as an Air Force JAG and a law clerk to U.S. District Judge Howard Turrentine in San Diego, he engaged in a general law practice in San Diego before specializing in intellectual property matters. He spent 20 years with Hewlett-Packard and its successor Agilent Technologies as managing counsel, Intellectual Property, supervising a staff of company attorneys and legal assistants in California, Colorado, Singapore, and Germany. Following his retirement from Agilent, he became Of Counsel to Holland & Hart LLP in Reno. He is a member of the Board of Directors of Covenant House California. Dick has two grown children and six grandchildren. When not practicing law, he can be found pursuing his second profession as a snowboard instructor at Northstar California ski resort, or cruising the twistiest roads of America on his motorcycle.

Exports and export control are more than just international shipping. Anyone who works with technology needs to understand how export control regulations can constrain their research program. Export control regulates how certain technology, software, tangible items, and knowhow are shared with foreign nationals. We will highlight aspects of export control that are most relevant to your time at MIT. We will discuss pressing global issues that can affect how you conduct research and business throughout your career at MIT and beyond. This information is relevant to students, postdocs, faculty, and staff. Contact exportcontrolhelp@mit.edu for questions and to let us know if you plan to attend.

It has been said that content is king.
Copyrighted works—media, software, or art—comprise a major portion of the world’s creative, intellectual, and economic output. As such, copyright issues affect musicians, artists, authors, and software programmers alike.
This popular talk offers a fun and interesting look at the protection of your creative works of authorship.
Join Daniel Dardani, Technology Licensing Officer and intellectual property expert, for an overview of copyright law and consider its history, practice, and relevance to your world and to the MIT community.
We will discuss the nature of originality, fair use, open source, how copyrights can be licensed in the digital age, and more.
All are welcome. No prior knowledge about intellectual property or the law is required.

Have you ever wondered how technology that’s developed in universities and other academic institutions gets translated into a product to benefit the public? This process is known as technology transfer. University tech transfer professionals evaluate new inventions, protect intellectual property through a patenting process, and license the technology to third parties, such as start-up companies or corporations, for further investment in development and commercialization.
At MIT, the Technology Licensing Office (TLO) supports MIT inventors in this process and plays a vital role in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Technology Licensing Officers Lauren Foster and Deirdre Zammit, who engage with the MIT community in these tech transfer efforts, will share the strategic approach MIT takes to move innovations from the research bench to the marketplace.
This session is part of the "Intellectual Property Speaker Series" co-sponsored by the Technology Licensing Office and MIT Libraries. Lunch will be provided to attendees of the Intellectual Property Speaker Series events.

Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Will Cybersecurity shift from Tolerance and Survivability for Moving Target Defenses change our current outcome? Has the increasing impact of data’s four V’s (Volume, Velocity, Variety & Veracity) underscore cybersecurity by routine engineering designs? Are the numbers of malware attacks, their costs and time-to-fix outpaced Social Norms and current policies? Does cyber-defense strategy need new Social Norms to deter the Malware, Botnets and Espionage? Should we move beyond compliance, monitoring and industry partnership of sharing threat information? Can cyber policies address today’s challenges of misaligned incentives, information asymmetries and externalities, so what can business do till then? This is more than a technology discussion, rather a presentation based on industry, government and research focus on changes to the current perspectives.
Everardo Ruiz SM ’00 and COL (Ret) Robert Banks will lead this discussion.

Patent protection for inventions is a valuable component of business strategy for startups and established companies. We'll cover basics of U.S. patent law, including the patent application process, prosecution, litigation, and licensing. Undergraduates, graduate students, and post-docs in science, engineering, and business are welcome. We discuss what recent developments in patent law mean for inventors, and draw examples ranging from the computer software to the pharmaceutical industries.
Some questions we will explore:
• What is the difference between a patent and a trade secret?
• Which inventions are patentable?
• What are the "novelty" & "non-obviousness" standards for patentability?
• Why am I an author on the paper, but not listed as an inventor on the patent?
• What if I want a patent, but my co-inventor doesn't (or is deceased)?
• What should I do if my patent application is rejected?
• If someone is practicing my patent without my permission, how can I stop them?
• If I am accused of patent infringement, what recourse do I have?
• What questions should I ask my patent attorney?

The market for ideas -- valuing patents as an inventor and entrepreneur
Everardo Ruiz SM '00, Intellectual Ventures, Sanjay Prasad, JD
|
Jan/24 | Thu | 01:00PM-03:00PM | E62-221 |
Enrollment: Unlimited: No advance sign-up
Product Innovation and invention surges ahead at rates unimaginable just a few decades ago. With good reason inventors protect their intellectual property (IP) internationally with a variety of tools - patents, copyright, and trademarks. But how should an inventor monetize the invention? Form and build a startup? Sell the invention? License it?
The speakers will examine the basics of patents, copyright, and trademark and consider monetization – entrepreneurship by building a startup, outright sale, and out-licensing – as well as factors and recent trends affecting patent valuation. The presentation is based on decades of VP, Director, and entrepreneurial experience in product development and intellectual property at Intellectual Ventures, Oracle, Alcatel, Texas Instruments, Kodak, Sun Microsystems, private law firms, and startups.
Leading the discussion:
Everardo Ruiz, SM ’00 Ph.D. (Managing Director, Energy Transition Partners)
