How to Obtain Patent Protection - Economically and Practically
John Harris, partner in the Technology/IP practice at Morris, Manning, and Martin, LLP, will be discussing the patent process and why it is important for entrepreneurs to have a strategy regarding patents.
The session should be very practical as John shares his insights in the patent world - from patent searching and competitive intelligence to the appropriate disclosure documents needed at a meeting with a patent lawyer.
This BrownBag Series is designed to provide hands-on education for ATDC member companies as well as the general entrepreneur community.
John Harris is a practicing patent attorney. For the past 25 years, Mr. Harris has advised clients in the electronics, computer, and Internet industries on intellectual property matters. A former computer systems design engineer at Harris Corporation, Mr. Harris designed electronic printing and word processing systems. Mr. Harris currently represents a Georgia-based agricultural testing laboratory in trademark opposition and cancellation proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board in connection with certification marks relating to certification of taste properties of oninons.
