The latest paper on SEP licensing and the role of private versus public market interventions, by Bowman Heiden and Justus Baron, is now available on SSRN.
The technology transfer case studies illustrate how patents facilitate technology transfer from R&D-conducting organisations and promote market success. The examples cover a range of economic sectors, countries and types of technology transfer. Each case study provides key takeaways for stakeholders in universities, other public research organisations and businesses. Overall, they demonstrate the importance of patents for technology transfer to start-ups, spin-offs and established companies.
A new weaving method using composite material was the basis for the foundation of Swedish start-up Oxeon. IP rights for the technology helped to attract private investment. Oxeon also benefitted from business support from the Chalmers University of Technology entrepreneurship centre. This combination of private ownership and public innovation support led to the commercialisation of innovative textiles in the sports, industrial and aerospace sectors and the licensing of the weaving technology.

On June 23rd at the @Classical Liberal Institute @ NYU School of Law will hold a session to discuss the WTO IP Waiver together with Adam Mossoff, Sharon Sandeen, Joshua Sarnoff, Liya Palagashvili, and Bowman Heiden.
Follow the High-growth technology business (HTB) initiative, designed for IP and business professionals, sharing expertise and best practices on IP commercialization.
Their mission is to support decision-makers in technology-driven enterprises by sharing how intellectual property can support their business. They focus on IP strategy, operational excellence, financing, and managing various strategic transactions, all underpinned by intellectual assets and best practices in IP management.

CIP is happy to announce CIP FORUM 2021 – Paradigm Shift, which will be held in collaboration with Volvo Group on December 9-11 in Göteborg.
Building on the theme of a Brave New World, we will explore the impact of fast-paced technological change on the integrity of the IP system and the role of IP management, in particular, the impact of the rapidly developing capabilities of artificial intelligence.
The hybrid event will be run both virtually and in-person (fingers crossed). If you have any questions please contact Bowman Heiden or Karla Soler Riba.
Bowman Heiden, Jorge L. Contreras, Steve Faraji, Sonja London, and Matthias Zigann will be speaking at the upcoming seminar by IPR University Center “SEPs – what should the EU do?”
How should the EU facilitate the licensing of SEPs? This seminar addresses the challenges that SEP licensing currently faces in the EU and beyond and the means by which the EU could seek to resolve the issues through its policy actions. It evaluates the current initiatives put forward and considers how the European Commission, national courts and the CJEU can facilitate the licensing of SEPs in a way that secures innovators incentives to innovate and effective access to SEPs by implementers.

My name is Demi Ibrahim and I graduated recently from UC Berkeley with a Master of Engineering in Bioengineering. During my time at Berkeley, I learned about IP analysis, strategy, and commercialization. I was fortunate enough to have been able to apply what I learned in an academic setting to my work experience at RPX. RPX specializes in patent litigation and acquisitions for their clients to help mitigate and manage any potential future litigation risks.
During my internship, I focused on the medical device industry and researching their patent landscape and litigation activity to see if this is a market that RPX should explore. This first required creating an extensive list of medical device companies and cross-checking their litigation history and frequency using RPX’s analytical tools. From this, I analyzed the top companies in this space experiencing the most litigation and came up with a recommendation for RPX whether or not it would be beneficial to enter the medical device space.
My experience at RPX is something I will be forever grateful for, and I wouldn’t have been able to have such an opportunity if it wasn’t for what I’ve learned from my advisors at my time in Berkeley. I learned so much through my internship at RPX that I will use as I start my career and beyond. I encourage anyone who is interested in IP strategy to find ways to learn more about the industry and get involved.
If you have any questions regarding my experience or just curious about the IP space, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me!
Findings by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and leading researchers show that women, people of color, and veterans are significantly underrepresented as US patent inventors. All of the data indicates that the US has missed out on millions of inventors, impacting national innovation and economic growth.
On July 26-29, the US Intellectual Property Alliance and UC Berkeley will host a virtual conference bringing together the USPTO, corporate legal teams, innovators, industry associations, and key stakeholders across the country to focus on increasing engagement of underrepresented inventors.
