SPONSOR PRESENTATIONS
Optional Lunch Talks
NANOTECHNOLOGY, IP WEALTH, AND PATENT OFFICE TRENDS
Leon Radomsky and Steve Rutt of Foley & Lardner
Intellectual property (IP) is critical to the survival of many
companies, particularly young nanotechnology companies,
which seek to develop valuable patent
portfolios as a basis for corporate value.
The Patent Office increasingly
must examine nanotechnology patent applications and,
recently, has been willing to provide the public
with its views on nanotechnology patent policies.
THE NANOTECH ENTREPRENEUR: LEGAL OPPORTUNITIES AND PITFALLS
Denis Rice, Neil Smith and Duane Nash
of Howard, Rice, Nemerovski, Canady, Falk and Rabkin.
The major considerations in organizing and
funding the nanotech business and in securing its
rights to patents and other intellectual property.
NANO-SCALE ENGINEERING: EXTENDING & EXPANDING MOORE'S LAW
Eric Hannah of Intel
This presentation will discuss the roadmap and technologies for computing over
the next ten years.
