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.

Founded in 1980, ATDC has helped create millions of dollars in tax revenues by graduating more than 120 companies, which together have raised more than a billion dollars in outside financing. ATDC has provided business incubation and acceleration services to hundreds of Georgia startups—most of which are not based on Georgia Tech research, but which benefit from the close proximity to the university.
Recently ATDC expanded its mission by merging with Georgia Tech's VentureLab and with the Georiga SBIR Assistance Program. The change will enble ATDC to greatly extend its reach to serve more technology companies along multiple growth paths and at all stages of development. ATDC has opened its membership to all technology entrepreneurs in Georgia, from those at the earliest conception stage to the well-established, venture-fundable companies.
ATDC is part of the Enterprise Innovation Institute (EI2) at Georgia Tech, which helps Georgia enterprises improve their competitiveness through the application of science, technology and innovation. ATDC currently has three facilities; two at Georgia Tech's main campus in Atlanta, and one at Georgia Tech's satellite campus in Savannah.
