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?
Julian has patent experience at three different law firms in New York &

This 3-day session will run through the end-of-life treatment of all types of waste--trash, recycling, and compost--following their path from the trash receptacle to their ultimate end.
By the end, you will walk away with a greater awareness and understanding of materials as they run through the disposal and recycling parts of their lifecycle.
RSVP is required by January 16, 2018.
