As a faculty member or student of a research university, there are inherent pressures to publish research work, whether through graduate thesis, trade publications, or presenting a speech at a technical conference. Working within the tension of needing to publish your work yet protecting it through the patent process becomes a valuable skill.
This seminar, hosted by the Technology Transfer Center (TTC) in partnership with Nath, Goldberg & Meyer, will provide you with a practical guide to better extract values from your inventions by answering the following questions:
- What is considered a publication under the patent laws?
- How are publications and patent applications similar? How are they different?
- How much information can be published without fear of losing future patent protection? When can this information optionally be published?
- Is the research ready for patent protection (timing)?
- How to deal with unexpected publications?
- What are some important aspects of a good patent application?
- How do these answers affect the (careful) drafting of a useful patent application?

This seminar was hosted by Technology Transfer Center (TTC) in partnership with Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP, one of the University appointed patent law firms. The seminar provided a discussion on
- What to consider when filing a biotech-related patent application
