The Patent Box: Alternatives to PatentsJane Lambert
This was the last presentation in the workshop on the patents box. Although the patent box is a powerful incentive to apply for a patent there are other forms of IP. This closing presentation indicates how some of the alternatives may be more appropriate for many businesses. It finishes with some tips on formulating an IP strategy.
The document lists 24 skills that everyone should know how to do, including building a fire, performing CPR, driving a car, cooking, telling a story, changing tires, handling a job interview, managing time, speed reading, remembering names, traveling light, handling the police, giving directions, swimming, using basic tools like a hammer, creating a simple budget, speaking two foreign languages, doing push-ups correctly, giving compliments, making short public speeches, and holding a baby safely.
The document poses a series of questions about landscapes to understand a reader's perspectives on different types of landscapes they have seen, where landscapes are pictured, their favorite and least favorite landscapes and why, how landscapes are composed, and the role of buildings in landscapes. It also asks what landscape the reader would photograph and what television show features important landscapes.
This document contrasts the righteousness of man versus the righteousness of God through examining the parable of the Pharisee and the tax collector. In the parable, a Pharisee thanks God that he follows the law strictly, while a tax collector humbly asks God for mercy. Though the tax collector was considered sinful, Jesus says he was justified, while the self-righteous Pharisee was not. The document emphasizes that God desires mercy over sacrifice and saves those who know they need Him, not the self-righteous who think they can save themselves.
Goodbye Gutenberg? The real impact of emerging technologies on libraries, pu...chaefele
The document discusses emerging technologies and their impact on libraries, publishing, and patrons. It provides an overview of ebooks and e-readers from the perspective of patrons, libraries, and publishers. For patrons, ebooks provide convenience but lack some of the benefits of print books. Libraries struggle with restrictive digital lending models from publishers. Publishers are concerned about protecting sales but also recognize the role of libraries. The document examines trends in ebook adoption and debates around digital rights and access.
The document discusses key concepts for stoichiometric calculations including:
- Stoichiometric amount, excess reagent, limiting reagent, theoretical yield, actual yield, and percentage yield.
- Reacting masses, volumes of gases, and volumes and concentrations of solutions can be calculated from chemical formulae and equations.
- Avogadro's Law relates equal volumes of gases to equal moles at the same temperature and pressure.
- Common combustion reactions of hydrocarbons are presented.
The document discusses interpreting ionization energy (IE) data to determine an element's electronic configuration. It states that a large jump in IE indicates removal of an electron from an inner shell, while a small jump indicates removal from an inner subshell. It provides an example of using IE data to deduce an element is in group 5 with a possible configuration of 1s22s22p5. It also shows how the electronic configuration of magnesium can be used to sketch its IE trend by determining what type of electron is removed at each stage.
How to Enforce your Intellectual Property Rights without Going BustJane Lambert
These are the slides of a presentation that I gave to Leeds Inventors Group in Leeds on the 15 Jan 2014 and IP North West in Accrington on 16 Jan 2014. As ever it is necessary to distinguish between "intellectual property" (the laws that protect investment in branding, design, technology and works of art and literature such trade marks, registered designs, unregistered design rights, patents and copyrights) from "intellectual assets" (the objects of such protection such as trade names, logos, designs, inventions, novels, films, computer programs and websites). Except for bootlegging, counterfeiting and piracy (certain infringements of rights in performances, trade marks and copyrights on an industrial scale) infringement of intellectual property rights is not an offence in this country. Thus it is up to each intellectual property owner to enforce his or her rights in the civil courts. Unfortunately civil litigation in England and Wales can be very expensive and the party that loses the litigation usually has to pay the party that succeeds, A survey by IPAC Ithe Intellectual Property Advisory Committee) in 2003 compared the cost of litigation in England and Wales with the cost in France, Germany, the Netherlands and the USA and found that the UK and the USA were the most expensive countries. Costs in France, Germany and the Netherlands ranged from 10,000 to 50,000 euros whereas in England it cost over £1 million to bring an action in the High Court and between £150,000 and £250,000 in the County Court. Costs in the USA were comparable but there the losing party did not usually have to pay the lawyers' fees of the successful party. Thus, the UK was the most expensive and risky country of the developed world to bring an enforcement action. This appears to have had a dampening effect on innovation in that the number of European patent applications from the UK has trailed not just the USA and Japan but also France, Germany and even the Netherlands and Switzerland which have much smaller populations. Over the last 10 years HM government has tried to reduce the cost of dispute resolution. The Patents Act 2004 enabled IPO examiners to give advisory opinions on whether a patent was valid and whether it has been infringed. In 2010 new rules were introduced to limit the recoverable costs of litigation in the Patents County Court to £50,000. In Oct 2012 a new small claims track was introduced in the Patents County Court. The costs of litigation in the UK for small and medium enterprises is now comparable to those in continental Europe. The final change came in Oct 2013 when the Patents County Court was replaced by IPEC (the Intellectual Property Enterprise Court). HM government has also negotiated an agreement with all the EU member states except Italy and Spain by which the EPO will issue a European patent for all their territories as though they were one country (unified patent) and for disputes to be decided by a single Unified Patent Court in Paris,
This document discusses independent learning and how teachers can encourage it. It asks teachers to join a focus group to share progress in developing independent learning. Teachers are asked to identify one change they could make to their practice, such as creating conditions that encourage learner independence or making a small change to existing practice, to discuss in the next meeting. The document also explores what independent learning is, how it is expressed in different subjects, and characteristics of independent learners.
This document discusses how to use shortcodes in WordPress. Shortcodes allow reusable pieces of content like videos, images, tweets, and more to be embedded throughout a WordPress site. The document provides examples of how to build shortcodes for things like policies, widgets, galleries, and more. It also explains how to install plugins to enable more advanced shortcode functionality and use shortcodes in widgets.
Presentation to IPO seminar "Protecting Your Ideas and Inventions" at Leeds Central Library on 15 September 2010, Discusses intellectual property rights owners' options for enforcing their rights: civil litigation, insurance (before and after-the-event), collecting societies, proceedings in the IPO, domain name dispute resolution, mediation and arbitration,
