Intellectual Property Section,State Bar of GeorgiaAnnual ReportPage 21 of 67between the innovators and intellectual property experts, as well as give students anopportunity to be exposed to some intellectual property training. We had held severalevents at the local law schools, and I thought it was long overdue for us to reach out totechnical students as well.The Intellectual Property Section, in conjunction with the Institute of ContinuingLegal Education in Georgia (ICLE) and the Georgia Institute of Technology, thereforeheld an Intellectual Property Boot Camp on October 17, 2012 at Georgia Tech’sTechnology Square Research Building. Approximately 60 students, patent agents, andattorneys attended this CLE event. The half-day event provided a great opportunity totake a crash course on the basics and provided practical advice in three of the major IPpractice areas. We had excellent presenters: Allie Roach and Liz Wheeler (Copyright101), Melissa Linsky (Trademark in Sports Law), Yvonne Shyntum, PhD (Patent LawOverview), and Art Gardner (The Dirty Dozen: Mistakes most Commonly made byPatent Attorneys and How to Avoid Them).INTRODUCTION OF MONTHLY NEWSLETTER:In past years, the Section’s newsletter has been issued at most two to three timesper year. During the 2011-2012 fiscal year, only one newsletter was sent to the Section.Past newsletters were many pages. Putting it together was cumbersome. Further, it wasmailed to the members, which incurred a cost and was not the most environmentallyefficient method of delivery. This year, thanks to the efforts of the Newsletter CommitteeChair Brent R. Bellows, we streamlined the newsletter and delivered it electronicallyonce a month for the first time in the Section’s history. The streamlined letter providedrecaps of past events, reminders of upcoming events, and committee information. Fromthe many positive comments I received, I believe Section members found the newsletterto be a much simpler and more powerful tool with which to stay abreast of Sectionevents. A sample newsletter is attached as Appendix A.247
Intellectual Property Section,State Bar of GeorgiaAnnual ReportPage 22 of 67PODCASTS:The 2012-2013 fiscal year was our first ever attempt at providing video streams ofselect events. We were able to record five events and post four events at our website,www.georgiaip.org.Our first set of streams was from the US Patent and Trademark Office’s AmericaInvents Act Roadshow, which was held at Georgia Tech on September 24, 2012. Thestream list includes introductory remarks, opening remarks from Commissioner forPatents, Peggy Focarino, inventor declarations, pre-issue procedures, administrative trialprovisions, proposed first to invent rules, and fees.Our second set of streams was from our Intellectual Property Boot Camp, whichwas held at Georgia Tech on October 15, 2012. The portions recorded include patentbasics and Art Gardner’s Dirty Dozen, which is a great presentation.Our third set of streams was from our November Litigation Committee lunchevent entitled, “Presumption of Irreparable Harm in Requests for Injunctions AfterEbay.” The Supreme Court, in its 2006 decision in eBay Inc. v. MercExchange, L.L.C.(547 U.S. 388), rejected the general rule favoring the granting of permanent injunctionsagainst patent infringement, instead holding that the traditional four-factor analysis forpermanent injunctive relief applied in patent infringement cases. This event was a paneldiscussion n examining the after-effects of the eBay decision. The panel, moderated byCommittee Chair David M. Lilenfeld, featured Ronald T. Coleman Jr., of Parker HudsonRainer & Dobbs; Ann G. Fort, of Sutherland; and Frank G. Smith III, of Alston & Bird.Our fourth set of streams is from the February In-House event concerning the newFirst-To-File rules implemented under the America Invents Act. Rich Miller of BallardSpahr and Brent Bellows of Knowles Intellectual Property Strategies provide anentertaining and informative look into the pitfalls and traps into which unknowingpractitioners may fall.Our fifth set of streams includes the Deputy Director of Trademarks, LynnBeresford, discussing trademark issues at the USPTO.248
