Klemchuk Kubasta Attorney Presents at IEEE Dallas Gold
Kirby Drake Gives a Crash Course in Patent Law for Engineers
Dallas, TX, October 11, 2012 --(PR.com)-- During a meeting of the Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Dallas Graduates of the Last Decade (GOLD) on Sept. 26, 2012, Kirby Drake, a partner with leading full-service intellectual property (IP) law firm Klemchuk Kubasta LLP (KK LLP), gave a presentation entitled, “So a Patent Issues Now What?” as part of a series called “A Crash Course in Patent Law for Engineers.”
With proven expertise in IP litigation and patent prosecution and experience in all aspects of intellectual property law, Drake presented from several different perspectives – what a patent holder’s options are following the issuance of a patent, considerations for someone accused of infringement, as well as freedom to operate within a technology space in view of patents. According to Drake, “Patents issue everyday but what is done related to those patents – both offensive and defensive – may vary widely. For example, a patent holder may elect to commercialize, license, sell and/or sue over the patent. Likewise, competitors or other interested parties may analyze their freedom to operate in the technology field in view of the patent, attempt to license the patent, or in some cases, defend against patent infringement claims.”
“Patents can be used as a sword as well as a shield depending on the situation,” Drake said. “Technology companies of all sizes and those involved with technology should recognize the value of IP, particularly patents, in both building market share and fending off the competition. Those that develop a comprehensive plan to assert IP and/or defend against patent allegations have the best chance of achieving a successful outcome at an acceptable cost, and I take pride in being able to help with these matters. IEEE Dallas GOLD represents the future of the technology industry, and being chosen to speak before such a promising group of people is a true honor.”
