URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/445568
X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p>Article I\, Section 8\, Clause 8\, of the 
 U.S. Constitution gives Congress the power to grant patents to inventors. 
 From there\, it all becomes murky. What benefits can an individual invento
 r extract from a patent? How important is it for a company to build a pate
 nt portfolio? What should you do with the portfolio once you have it? Can 
 you afford to enforce your patents? When should you be scared of other peo
 ple suing you over patents? After 40+ years in the patent game as an inven
 tor\, an expert witness\, and a corporate executive responsible for patent
  strategy\, I will give you a big picture view of the economics of the pat
 ent industry and discuss some of the opportunities and pitfalls.</p>
