EVENT DETAILS |
<P>As the Columbia technology transfer experience demonstrates, patents can provide a successful vehicle for generating research funding for university inventions. Unfortunately, many seemingly harmless events occurring after the conception of an invention can jeopardize the right to file for a patent. Teresa Chen, Associate General Counsel for Columbia University, will present a patent law primer focusing on what you need to know to preserve patent protection for your inventions.</P>
