Event sponsored by the Australian Government's IP Australia.
Do software patents encourage or hinder innovation?
IP Australia invites you to attend the IP Forum at Sydney Marriott Hotel
on 16 May 2012 to hear Australian Inventor, Ric Richardson speak about his
experiences with the patents system. Ric’s epic battle with Microsoft
was recently resolved in an out of court settlement with royalties on an
estimated turnover of US$19 billion for its XP and Office software.
Other speakers include; Ben Sturmfels, principle of Sturm (a free
software development agency), and Philip Spann, Deputy Commissioner of
Patents at IP Australia.
This free forum includes lunch and the opportunity to ask questions, and
network with IP professionals, industry representatives and members of
IP Australia’s Executive. Journalists are welcome.
