Intellectual Property Workshop

Dear postdocs, graduate students, and staff researchers,

The UCSC STEM Postdoc Association (USPA) and UCSC’s Director of Intellectual Property Management, Jeff Jackson, are hosting a workshop on Intellectual Property, and when you should consider patenting your research.

Topics we will discuss include:

– inventions at the university

– how to recognize inventions

– the patent and commercialization process

– careers in technology transfer or patent prosecution

Also, UCSC’s IP Management Officer specializing in software and electrical engineering, Chris Reed, will accompany Jeff (who specializes in biotechnology and chemistry) to help answer your questions.

Lunch will be served!
