Paul R. Juhasz presents “SOPA and You: New Perspectives on Protecting Intellectual Property and Licensing Creative Content” Event in Houston, Texas

Friday, April 20th, 2012

Marketing and creative professionals must be vigilant in protecting their intellectual property and the intellectual property of their clients said attorney Paul R. Juhasz of The Juhasz Law Firm at the Entrepreneurs Strategic Interest Group (ESIG) monthly meeting on April 12, 2012. The ESIG is sponsored by the Houston Chapter of the International Association of Business Communicators (IABC), www.iabchouston.com.  The event titled “SOPA and You: New Perspectives on Protecting Intellectual Property and Licensing Creative Content” was attended by professionals working in the creative fields, seeking to understand how to value their creative products, how to license their use and protect intellectual property, and how to fit those elements into their business strategies in a way that creates opportunity and minimizes risk.

“Paul presented a very valuable program on SOPA, copyrights and trademarks—important stuff for anyone working in public relations or corporate communications,” said Beverly Freeman, an IABC member and organizer of the event.

Juhasz also covered copyrights, trademarks and the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA); how copyrights differ from trademarks and other forms of intellectual property; copyright value and how it correlates to business strategy; how to register and protect copyrights; and copyright infringement issues.

Regarding the Stop Online Piracy Act (SOPA), Juhasz described its potential impact on creative professionals and accessibility of online content if passed into law. For more information about this presentation, contact The Juhasz Law Firm at www.patenthorizon.com.

Juhasz Law files amicus brief in Mayo v. Prometheus; takes “virtual links” argument to Supreme Court

Monday, November 7th, 2011

An amicus brief filed by Juhasz Law with the U.S. Supreme Court in Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. last Tuesday, November 1, argues that 35 U.S.C. §101 subject matter patentability should hinge on the “physical link” and “virtual link” framework proffered by Juhasz Law in the wake of last year’s Supreme Court’s Bilski decision.

Juhasz Law cites U.S. Supreme Court precedent in Diehr for the “physical links” assertion and the century-old Morse decision for its “virtual links” contention. The firm argues in its 35-page brief that the way out of the Bilski conundrum may be found by determining whether a step central to the Prometheus claim has either a “physical” or a “virtual” link to a specific physical or tangible object.

Juhasz Law argues in the Supreme Court brief that the Prometheus claims contain both a “physical” and also a “virtual” link and thus should be found “subject matter patentable under 35 U.S.C. §101.”

Juhasz Law Introduces Transformational Approach to Patent Clearance and Other Patent Assessments

Wednesday, May 18th, 2011

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

(News Release) – May 18, 2011 – Juhasz Law has introduced a new service named 1-To-4 Transformation  in the area of patent clearance (freedom to operate) and other patent assessments designed to meet the needs of company executives concerned with showing return on investment (ROI) for their patent investments.

A threat to ROI on patent investments is caused by defining a business opportunity too narrowly in the early stage of business decision making. The Juhasz law 1-To-4 Transformation deconstructs a business opportunity (product, process, patent, invention, etc.) and transforms its definition into four business attributes: product, strategy, core competency and market.

Executive management is being held accountable by shareholders to show ROI for their patent investments.  The Juhasz Law 1-To-4 Transformation in patent clearance assessments can help measure and increase future return on patent investment. For more information, refer to our Blog “A Transformational Approach to Patent Clearance and Other Patent Assessments”.  

The Juhasz Law 1-To-4 Transform is not limited to only freedom to operate assessments (FTOAs).  A wide variety of patent assessments can be evaluated strategically with this operation. 

The Juhasz Law Firm can help firms better understand the value of patents. For more information regarding the 1-To-4 Transformation and how it can help make patent clearance and other patent assessments more strategic, click here to read the Web page.
