By SEMA Washington, D.C., Staff

When: November 2, 2015, 2:00 p.m.–3:00 p.m.
Where: Las Vegas Convention Center, Upper North Hall, N254

New laws are changing the way patents should be pursued, and how you should view the patents of others. The new legal landscape also presents new opportunities regarding how you deal with patents owned by your competitors in re-examination proceedings, oppositions and litigation.

Presented by Justin Poplin and Marshall Honeyman, partners in the law firm of Lathrop & Gage LLP,  this seminar offers practical solutions to the challenges presented by your company’s inventions and examines how to build leverage though the patent process. To achieve this, you will learn to:

  • Identify the kinds of inventions that result in useful patent coverage.
  • Maintain secrecy, and thus avoid losing your rights.
  • Establish ownership of the patent.
  • Determine whether the possible scope of the patent justifies the cost.

Legislation to remove the requirement that gasoline offered for sale in the state contain a percentage of ethanol was approved by an overwhelming margin in the House of Representatives and will now be sent to the Senate Environmental Resources & Energy Committee for consideration. Currently, the state requires that “All gasoline sold or offered for sale to ultimate consumers in this Commonwealth must contain at least 10% cellulosic ethanol by volume . . .” 

The bill recognizes that ethanol fuels cause problems with fuel pumps, fuel gauges and other engine performance issues, especially over a period of time when the vehicle is not used. Current high-performance specialty parts along with pre-model year ’01 cars and parts may be most susceptible to corrosion. The legislation also acknowledges that ethanol has been shown to decrease fuel mileage.
