Re:	Inventions, Patents and Patent Applications - Demystified
         Friday May 1, 12:00 - 2:00, ESB 1001

Dear all:

The Office of Technology & Industry Alliances is pleased to announce that 
its annual seminar on patents will be held on Friday, May 1, 2009 from 
12:00 - 2:00 in ESB 1001.

Whether an academic scholar, industry researcher or budding entrepreneur, 
patents touch the careers of almost every scientist and engineer (as well 
as the staff that work with them).  Yet, patents and the patent process are 
often unfamiliar or misunderstood.  There are important issue to 
understand, such as the scope of patent protection, what inventions are 
actually patentable, when/how publication affect the ability to secure 
patent rights and how a properly maintained laboratory notebook can protect 
patent rights.

Please come and join us for this brown bag seminar, which will help to 
demystify patent law and the patent prosecution process.  The seminar will 
build a strong understanding of basic patent law, the process for securing 
a patent and key elements of a patent application.  It will also provide a 
brief overview of the licensing process and discuss how universities and 
other organizations encourage the use of research innovations through 
patent licensing.

The seminar will be taught by Dr. Anthony Orler, partner in the law firm of 
Gates & Cooper and Adjunct Professor at Loyola School of Law.  Dr. Orler is 
a talented teacher and excellent patent attorney with in-depth experience 
working with UCSB technologies.

This seminar provides a rare opportunity to learn from, and interact with, 
one of the top patent attorneys in California.

All are welcome.
