Patents - A Framework for Decision-making

Jeffrey Powers, Bond, Schoeneck & King


Abstract

The goal of a patent strategy is to complement a business strategy. To get there, takes disciplined decision-making, based on a knowledgeable legal framework.  Topics to be discussed will range from "Should I get patent?" to "How do I address risks of infringing others' patents?"  The talk will include an emphasis on common misconceptions and pitfalls, and is intended for beginners and veterans ... inventors and entrepreneurs.
