About
Please join Allison Schmitt, Director of the UC Berkeley Center on Law and Technology's Life Sciences Law and Policy Center, to learn more about the IP issues faced by researchers and innovators, including patenting algorithms and outputs, and the potential and limits of infringement and enforcement. Presentation will also address how US patent law approaches inventor status, use of trade secrets to protect algorithms and data, and best practices in diligence and commercialization for algorithm-dependent inventions and companies.
Co-sponsored by the Berkeley Center for Health Marketplace Innovation, and the Berkeley Center on Law and Technology (BCLT).
