Robotics and Intellectual Property - Webinar
Robots have application in markets ranging from agriculture to defense ; from automotive to health care; and, from manufacturing to consumer goods. It is estimated that the global industrial robotics market alone shall be worth $32.9 billion by 2017. Intellectual property--in the form of utility patents, copyrights, design patents, trade secrets, software patents, and trademarks--will be a major value driver for the robotics industry going forward.
This unique webinar provides insights into issues such as:
- What are the differences in fully-autonomous, semi-autonomous and remote-controlled robots?
- When should software code be protected by copyrights and when it should it be protected by software patents?
- Why do robotics companies rely on trade secrets so heavily?
- What are some of the limitations on protecting intellectual property with trade secrets?
- How can small robotics companies protect their intellectual property when collaborating with large sponsors? How does First-to-File affect such collaboration?
- How extensive is prior art in the robotics industry?
- What are the risks for robotics companies that the government will exercise March-In Rights?
- How should robotics companies avoid becoming entangled in the Economic Espionage Act?
- How are robotics patent claims constructed?
- What are the risks of joint ownership of robotics patents?
- How valuable are provisional patent applications for robotics companies?
- How can robotics licensors relieve themselves of indemnification liabilities?
- How does the Digital Millennium Copyright Act lower the bar for deemed infringement of copyrights?
This session delves into great detail in connection with the most important robotics litigation and transactions, such as:
- iRobot v. Koolatron & Urus Indus.
- iRobot vs. Robotic FX
- InTouch vs. VGo Communications
- ISR Group v. Manhattan Partners
- Kiva's $770 Million Acquisition by Amazon
