finished at Pace University in White Plains with a Juris Doctor degree.
SUMMARY OF TALK
He is with a small firm and specializes in intellectual property which
includes patents, trademarks and copyrights, mostly re software, which he
did prior to being a lawyer. He was active as a lawyer in a case against
Disney. The U.S. government does not understand intellectual property. See
the Alice case in the U.S. Supreme Court. Has to be done physically. A
patent application involves a long and expensive process. In China, the
dictatorship is quick to enforce a patent held valid, but not the U.S. Re
drugs, normally a long period of testing, then file but now first to file.
Einstein said invention is 99% perspiration and 1% inspiration.
We normally meet at The Briar's restaurant on North State Road around
12:15 (except this Friday, when we meet at 3PM for Installation Gala). For
