The third annual IP (Intellectual Property) Forum took place in Warsaw on March 8-12, 2010. The IP Forum is organized by IP Management Poland, which is headed by Bogusław Węgliński, and sponsored by six leading Polish universities and several trade associations, as well the European Union. The three USPTC board members attending and presenting were Jerzy Orkiszewski, USPTC president and engineering director of biotech company Cutera, Clay Bullwinkel, the Forum’s co-chairperson and managing member of Silicon Valley Flow, LLC, and Krzysztof Świtalski.
Last year’s IP Forum had many renowned speakers led by Jerzy Buzek, now president of the European Parliament. This year again did not disappoint. Many industrial, academic and government leaders from Poland, the U.S., Norway and other countries presented and discussed the importance of proper management of intellectual property in the process of technology and product research and development. Three Silicon Valley-based experts on IP management and university R & D agreements played the key roles in the forum’s workshop.
