Filing a patent application is one of the surest methods of securing intellectual property protection. An understanding of the basics of this process is important for any researcher, inventor, or entrepreneur. With the recent passage of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, a reexamination of this topic is appropriate and timely. Our presenter this month is J. Gibson Lanier, Ph.D., J.D., a patent attorney with Ballard Spahr in Atlanta, GA. Dr. Lanier has been working with the University's patent portfolio and presenting at the F.I.R.E. Series since 2003. Refreshments will be served. Please contact David Englert, or call 585.784.8856 for more information or to register for this event.
