"Protecting Software as Intellectual Property: The Many Faces of Software Patents"

Richard N. Taylor, Moderator

Abstract:  Given the ever-changing landscape of software-focused patents and the complexities of alternative strategies, what should a budding software inventor do? Pursue patents on their innovations? Something else? The panel will begin with a statement by each panelist addressing this concern, then discussion will open up from there.

Dan L. Burk, Chancellor's Professor of Law, School of Law, UC Irvine
Allan Z. Litovsky, Litigator & IP Attorney, Partner, Stradling Yocca Carlson & Rauth
