American Chemical Society Webinar focuses on careers in intellectual property for chemists
September 30, 2010WASHINGTON, Sept. 30, 2010 -- News media and others interested in the chemical sciences are invited to join the next in a series of American Chemical Society (ACS) Webinars™ focusing on building a career that combines chemistry and intellectual property (IP).
Scheduled for Thursday, Oct. 7, from 2 - 3 p.m. EDT, the free ACS Webinar™ will feature Robert J. Koch, an attorney with the Washington, D.C., law firm of Milbank, Tweed, Hadley & McCloy LLP, speaking on Careers in Intellectual Property for Chemists.
ACS Webinars™ connect you with experts and global thought leaders in the chemical sciences, management and business to address current topics of interest to scientific and engineering professionals. Each webinar includes a short presentation followed by a Q & A session.
News media and scientists can tune into the conference without charge but must register in advance.
Participants will learn:
- The three most available paths to move from the lab, industry or the classroom into the IP field
- How knowledge of chemistry and/or lab experiences may fit into the vastly different worlds of patent procurement and patent enforcement
- Which IP positions are in urgent need of technically qualified people and which IP fields show high prospects for future demands
- Why it's never too late for a chemist to enter into the IP arena
