DESCRIPTION:Monday\, July 20\, 2026\n\n5:30pm – 7:30 pm\n\nIEEE Consultan
 ts&#39; Network: JULY 2026 Meeting (&quot;Home Base&quot;)\n\nFrom Hidden IP Value to Co
 urtroom Proof:\nA Silicon-to-System Framework for IP Evaluation\n\nShahram
  Shafie\, MS ECE\n\nEngineering Expert Network: Antenna\, ASIC\, Algorithm
  | 4G/5G/6G\, Radar\, Wi‑Fi\, SATCOM | Patent Litigation SME Sourcing &amp; 
 Expert Witness Support | For IP Law Firms\, Startups &amp; Venture Capital Fir
 ms\n\nTOPIC\n\nMany deep-technology programs encounter technical ambiguity
  not because the underlying innovation lacks merit\, but because system-le
 vel interpretation\, integration realities\, and architecture assumptions 
 are not fully understood until late-stage scrutiny occurs.\n\nThis present
 ation explores how engineering value can become hidden\, misinterpreted\, 
 or vulnerable when evaluated only within narrow product contexts rather th
 an through broader system-level analysis. Using antenna systems and distri
 buted RF behavior as representative examples\, the discussion examines how
  technical primitives\, architecture mapping\, physical behavior\, and rea
 l-world deployment constraints influence technical defensibility and inter
 pretation.\n\nThe discussion draws on observed patterns from real engineer
 ing and litigation contexts to illustrate how system-level interpretation 
 influences technical outcomes in practice.\n\nThe session presents a struc
 tured silicon-to-system perspective on evaluating complex engineering syst
 ems\, with particular emphasis on antenna\, ASIC\, algorithm\, wireless\, 
 radar\, and SATCOM-related technologies.\n\nLOCATION:\nLeucadia Pizza UTC
