#TeamCantorColburn is excited to share that Christine Wilkes Beninati and Koichiro Nakamura attended last week’s IDiyas 2nd Annual Innovation Summit in Charlotte. It was an inspiring event filled with engaging discussions regarding the current state and the future of intellectual property from inventor and business perspectives as well as from the perspectives of patent practitioners. We are proud to be part of a community that partners with some of the most creative and innovative thinkers. It was a pleasure to be with the stars of Charlotte’s innovation and intellectual property ecosphere celebrating innovation and innovators. Ko was part of the Patent Attorney Roundtable with Laura Peter, the Executive Director of the Office of Research and Partnerships at UNC Charlotte and former USPTO Deputy Director, Keith Agisim, Chief IP Counsel at Bank of America, and David Easwaran, partner at K&L Gates. The discussions ranged from detailed discussions of patent eligibility and terminal disclaimers to an expansive discussion regarding artificial intelligence. Thank you to IDiyas co-founders and visionaries Josh Peltz and Misha Ghosh for a meaningful event celebrating the dynamic innovation ecosystem of the Charlotte Metro area. #intellectualproperty #innovation #inventors #patents #artificalintelligence #Charlotte

But patents aren’t the only kind of “prior art” that can undermine patentability. This article in the most recent Cantor Colburn LLP IP newsletter discusses how other printed publications — including operating manuals prepared for customers — also might invalidate an invention’s patent.

𝗖𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗶𝘁𝘆 𝗱𝗼𝗲𝘀𝗻’𝘁 𝗵𝗮𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗼 𝗯𝗲 𝗳𝗮𝗻𝗰𝘆 Copyright protection applies only to original works — but you might be surprised at just how low the bar for originality is under federal copyright law. This article from Cantor Colburn LLP's most recent IP newsletter reviews a case involving an auto dealer’s loyalty certificate in which the court found that even “the dull and workaday” can qualify for protection and a short sidebar covers a different case involving an auto dealer’s customer intake form in which the court concluded that the form lacked the necessary originality.
