This book is the first of its kind to teach scientists and
engineers beyond simply getting a patent granted. Rather, it also
introduces the basis of patent licensing and related business
aspects to inventors in order to help them create better patents
that can be capitalized. This book covers aspects from basic
concepts of patent laws, patent preparation to patent post granting
and patent licensing in an easy-to-understand language for
inventors. It also provides tips and pitfalls on how an inventor
should assist in all phases of patent filing, prosecution and
licensing. Through the author's extensive scientific background and
experience, numerous cases are provided.
This comprehensive book is the first of its kind to take scientists
and engineers beyond simply getting a patent granted. Through the
author's extensive technical background and experience in
intellectual property licensing, it ties the many technical, legal
and business aspects of patent enforcement to the innovation and
patenting stage in the patent value chain, with the objective of
helping inventors to create valuable patents that can be
capitalized.In easy-to-understand language, this book covers
various aspects, including basic concepts of patent laws and rules,
innovation protection, patenting, patents post-granting and patent
licensing. With over 40 tables, 70 figures, nearly 100 cases and
examples, and a comprehensive index table, it serves as a practical
handbook for inventors and patent practitioners.This second edition
incorporates the latest changes in the America Invents Act (AIA),
with additional case studies and illustrations throughout the book.
For inventors who want to file patents by themselves, this new
edition provides guidelines and step-by-step instructions on
preparing and filing a US provisional patent application, while
avoiding the pitfalls that commonly occur in do-it-yourself
patenting.
The portable device and mobile phone market has witnessed rapid
growth in the last few years with the emergence of several
revolutionary products such as mobile TV, converging iPhone and
digital cameras that combine music, phone and video functionalities
into one device. The proliferation of this market has further
bene?ted from the competition in software and applications for
smart phones such as Google's Android operating system and Apple's
iPhone App- Store, stimulating tens of thousands of mobile
applications that are made ava- able by individual and enterprise
developers. Whereas the mobile device has become ubiquitous in
people's daily life not only as a cellular phone but also as a
media player, a mobile computing device, and a personal assistant,
it is p- ticularly important to address challenges timely in
applying advanced pattern recognition, signal, information and
multimedia processing techniques, and new emerging networking
technologies to such mobile systems. The primary objective of this
book is to foster interdisciplinary discussions and research in
mobile multimedia processing techniques, applications and s- tems,
as well as to provide stimulus to researchers on pushing the
frontier of emerging new technologies and applications. One attempt
on such discussions was the organization of the First Int- national
Workshop of Mobile Multimedia Processing (WMMP 2008), held in
Tampa, Florida, USA, on December 7, 2008. About 30 papers were
submitted from10countriesacrosstheUSA, Asia andEurope.
