Die WIE (Women in Engineering) Gruppe der IEEE Austria Section und die Technologietransfer-Abteilung der TU Wien laden herzlich zum Vortrag "Patenting inventions in Europe: why and how?" am 10.6.2009 um 14:00 ein. Die Vortragende Dr. Olivia Nemethova ist "Sub Auspiciis"-Promovendin der TU Wien und absolviert derzeit eine Ausbildung zur Europäischen Patentanwältin in München.
What is an invention and how to identify a patentable invention? Are computer implemented inventions patentable? Although I will particularly focus on the European patent law, I will also point out some interesting differences to other national laws. In order to decide on whether to file a patent or not, the value and a possible exploitation of the patent has to be considered. I will thus provide hints to deciding in the dilemma of many researchers whether to patent or rather publish in a scientific paper.
Furthermore, I will present the procedure of obtaining a patent including requirements, approximate timing, and possibilities of speeding up the proceedings. Finally, I will briefly summarize the forms of industrial property other than patents.
