Symposium on IP, patents hosted by LTU
A symposium on intellectual property and the role of the Detroit branch of the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) in supporting patent activity in Southeast Michigan will be offered on Wednesday, Oct. 2, at Lawrence Technological University (LTU), 21000 West 10 Mile Road in Southfield.
The free symposium for all industries, entrepreneurs, innovators and inventors will run from 9:30 a.m. to 1 p.m. and includes lunch. Online register is required by Friday, Sept. 27, at www.ltu.edu/ip-event.
Speakers and panelists include:
* Faris Almatrahi, USPTO supervisory patent examiner.
* Virinder Moudgil, president and CEO of LTU.
* David Cole, chairman of AutoHarvest, a non-profit dedicated to fostering innovation in the global auto industry.
* Paul Prestia, senior strategic advisor at RatnerPrestia, an intellectual property law firm.
The moderator will be Matt Roush, technology editor at WWJ Newsradio 950.
The symposium will cover collaborative intellectual property development strategies including IP mining. There will be an update on USPTO resources for inventors including the pro bono program mandated by the federal America Invents Act.
Participants will have the opportunity to discuss real-life stories of collaborative intellectual property development and also network with USPTO representatives, industry leaders, innovators and inventors, as well as university faculty and students.
"New intellectual property is the lifeblood of industry, and many LTU graduates have been involved in important breakthroughs," Moudgil said. "We need to make a concerted effort to encourage the development of new ideas that will lead to consistent job growth in the region."
This event is sponsored by RatnerPrestia, the Lawrence Tech Entrepreneurial Collaboratory, AutoHarvest, and WWJ Newsradio 950.
