Joined representatives from government, industry, and practice for Marcus Evans’ recent IP Law Summit in Chicago.
I spoke about AI IP enforcement issues, Big Tech and antitrust, and China-US tech rivalry – the ABCs in IP and Tech.
I also had the pleasure of joining John Calkins (Pear Therapeutics), Dena VanDeVoort Ehrich (3M), and Laura Sheridan (Google) for a conversation on “Future Policy at the USPTO – Transformation or Status Quo.” Topics include:
● Recent and potential changes at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
● What may be on the horizon for how patents are examined
● The role of technology in the PTO’s operation
● Improving equitable and affordable access to the patent system
Said hello to Gwendolyn Blackwell (USPTO) who gave a very engaging and well-received presentation on “Interacting with a USPTO Examiner and Addressing Patent Prosecution,” and informally exchanged views during the summit with several attendees, including Roberte Makowski (FMC Corporation), who graciously came up to chat after my talk.
