Seminar Announcement:
A Brave New World: Understanding Patent Law and Avoiding Pitfalls as an Entrepreneur and Researcher
Justin McCabe, Esq.
SRH Law
The complexity of the U.S. patent system presents challenges for all innovators, and with the advent of the America Invents Act last year, the rules governing patents have only become more complex. Entrepreneurs and researchers need to have an understanding of the basics of patent law and need to pay special attention to their pre-application filing activities. This presentation will cover the nuts and bolts of obtaining a patent and the potential consequences to certain activities that were previously thought to be “safe” pre-patent filing activities.
Justin McCabe is an intellectual property attorney for the firm SRH Law with a background in chemical engineering. He currently lives in Montpelier with his wife and two kids and a dog that’s not very bright, but is friendly enough.
