Walt Copan discusses U.S. National Security and Competitiveness
Walt Copan joins us for a conversation about the role of science, technology and innovation in U.S. competitiveness and for U.S. national security.
As many of you no doubt know, Walt is a former Undersecretary of Commerce and served as the 16th Director of the National Institute of Standards and Technology, a position for which he was unanimously confirmed by the Senate during the Trump Administration. Today, Walt is the Vice President for Research and Technology Transfer at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado.
I invited Walt to join us for our annual life sciences program this year. My pitch was that we would have a one-on-one conversation that would not only make up the final segment of the program, but which would also be used for our IPWatchdog Unleashed podcast. He graciously accepted my invitation, and we sat down for this conversation on Wednesday, October 30.
During our conversation we discuss the ongoing Bayh-Dole march-in rights drama being caused by his old agency-NIST-which has published a framework that would allow the government to strip patent rights away from exclusive licensees if the government believes the product covered by a patent is too expensive. We also discussed the diverging approach to commercialization between universities who can own and license patent rights and federal agencies, which operate under an entirely different statutory structure that makes it virtually impossible to get innovations made by federal government employees to the marketplace and commercialized for the good of society. We also discuss the upward trajectory of China vis-à-vis innovation and intellectual property, and the stagnation within the U.S. innovation ecosystem, which has been primarily led by uncertainty and dismantling of the U.S. intellectual property laws.

You’ve passed the patent bar exam. Now what? Having a license to practice is just the beginning. What you need is a bridge between passing the patent bar and representing clients.

Thomas strikes again!
Cool panel, thank you!
With regards to the quality of patent office decisions (discussion at 46:00), the solution is a free third party observation system like the EPO
I like writing my claim 1 as a "story claim," and my two other independent claims as my "real" patent claims so to speak. The story claim provides narrative context for the other two independent claims which, realistically, will define the legal scope of the invention.
This was really informative, thank you for posting this.
Every aspiring inventor need to see this!
The shine is off big tech for sure. Case in point, Netlist v Google, v Samsung, v Micron, v etc etc. Big tech literally conspiring to bust NLST to avoid culpability for (allegedly) stealing Netlist’s seminal tech IP. The video from 27:40 to 32:00 is precisely whats happening to Netlist. 2 huge multimillion dollar district Court jury judgments in NLST favor at risk of being upended by the very same big tech that helped establish the ptab? I for one support ptab reform, the sooner the better.
Let's hope the Supreme Courts recent decision on Chevron deference issue will settle the problem between the administrative state versus the courts. Nobody elected these people. The AiA is a complete failure and the PTAB is a useless, burdensome and expensive obstacle for patent owners to protect their patents. I could go on and on but everyone knows it's true. Eliminate the PTAB and let the courts and jurys decide the issues as our Constitution says to do. These issues all end up in the (CAFC) Federal Court anyways.
Steph is awesome
IPWatchdog, Inc., awesome content you deserve more views
Excellet panelist and topic Gene!
My fellow Romanian!!
But not corrupt justices we have to hold them accountable and need be arrest them
You are right, Matteo, on UPC and SEP. the EU system is not consistent to date
We value your feedback. We would appreciate it if you could complete a short post-webinar survey and let us know your thoughts. You can access this 2-minute survey at this link: www.surveymonkey.com/r/Webinar-01-17-2024.
I honestly have learned a lot about patents from Gene and his IP Watch Dog.👏
Thanks @melvinwong7266. Glad to hear IPWatchdog has been a useful resource for you! Thanks for reading, and thanks for watching this video!
NLST is defending 13 IPR’s? It seems like some large companies are in on a conspiracy to attack a small company.
PTAB is corrupt. Look at the results they are putting out. Look at how long NLST has been fighting their proven 912' patent repeatedly.
