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.

Novel therapeutic platforms usually go through the phases of initial enthusiasm, followed by a trough of disappointment to meet the initial hype, and then after years of solving the technical challenges, commercial clinical success is achieved.
Nucleic acids drugs targeting RNA and the genome provide excellent examples of these cycles.
Tod Woolf (MIT Technology Licensing Office) will describe the work of his biotech teams and other biotechs in the area of antisense, RNAi, and therapeutic editing that reflect phases of these boom bust cycles, with an emphasis on how chemical modification of nucleic acid drugs contributed to the enablement of nucleic acid therapeutic platforms.
