Patents in Computer Science: Why and how?

Abstract

In this talk we will explain what is a patent, and what is a software patent, including the different rules in different locations. We will give a number of examples of CS patents. We will discuss different options for getting value out of patents, and the new markets that are now being established for ideas. Finally we will discuss "good" and "bad" patents and the debate about the contribution of patents to the economy as well as relevant ethic issues.

 

For any software engineer who is  not employees of a large company, and even for some who are, it is important to understand patenting. University professors are now expected to patent, both for the value for themselves and the university, but also as recognized publications. Patents are essential for start-ups and independent innovators to protect the IP they create and increase their value. Even in large corporations patents are now consider one of the criteria for advancements. This talk will show people how patents could contribute to their career and possibly to their bank account as well.

 

Short CV

 Dr. Shmuel Ur (ur-innovation.com) was a research scientist in the IBM research lab in Haifa, Israel for 16 years, where he held the title of IBM Master Inventor. Later, he became an independent inventor selling ideas, mainly to Intellectual Ventures and consulting start-ups on creating IP portfolio. He  taught software testing in the Technion and Haifa University.  He also taught, both inside and outside IBM, various software engineering disciplines giving one-day to week long intensive courses on the topics of coverage, code review, and test and development  of  concurrent software. He consults with banks and companies on to how to improve their software development process.

Dr. Ur received his Ph.D. in Algorithms Optimization and Combinatorics in 1994 in Carnegie Mellon University under Michael Trick and Nobel Prize winner Herbert Simon, and his Bs.C. and Ms.C. from the Technion in Israel. He has published in the fields of hardware testing, artificial intelligence, algorithms, software testing and testing of multi-threaded programs. He started and chaired PADTAD, a workshop on testing multi-threaded applications, a workshop on patents and software engineering and the Haifa Verification conference, and is on program committee of many conferences. Shmuel wrote more then 60 professional publications, more then 25 granted patents and has given numerous talks and tutorials.

 

 

Aus dem Internet über ihn:

Innovationen im Software Testing, Visual Code, Software Patentierung und der professionelle Weg zum Chef-Erfinder.


He supplies services in the areas of IP and software engineering, and the interaction between the two.

What Shmuel does

Dr. Ur has vast experience in creating IP. Specifically, Dr. Ur consults for companies and helps them build their IP portfolio,
both by inventing for them and by mentoring local inventors.
Dr. Ur has provided many consultations explaining how companies can improve their patenting process.
Dr. Ur is a former IBM Master Inventor. He has fifteen years’ experience in the areas of coverage in all its aspects:
code and functional, hardware and software, unit and large systems, sequential and concurrent.
Dr. Ur developed a large number of coverage tools himself, and many other tools were developed by others
based on his research both in IBM and in other software and hardware companies.
Dr. Ur has given many courses and consultations in coverage, ranging in length from one hour to a full week.
Since 2001, Dr. Ur has been involved in practical research in the area of testing concurrent software,
which resulted in tools (ConTest) and methodology for testing concurrent software.
He has given tutorials on this tool and methodology both in IBM and a number of other companies.
Dr. Ur was part of the team that developed the Selective Homeworkless Review technique
and has taught many full-week seminars in which groups learned how to adopt this innovative and effective technique.
Shmuel has a wide range of experience in industry and academia.
