Dr. Michael Baker
Current or future inventors at N.C. A&T who have questions about the creation, protection and commercialization of intellectual property have an opportunity to get some expert advice this Friday. Electrical engineer and patent lawyer Dr. Michael Baker will address these questions in a talk at the Joint School of Nanoscience and Nanoengineering on Friday at 11 a.m. Dr. Baker’s firm, Salubrix, provides intellectual property training specifically designed for engineers, scientists and technology managers.
Title: Creating And Commercializing Intellectual Property
Abstract: This presentation focuses on practical aspects of creating and commercializing intellectual property (IP). Primary emphasis is placed on the requirements for obtaining a patent and the essential relationship between patents and markets. Commercializing patents in a university environment will also be covered. The essential relationship between university researchers and senior technology developers in the private sector is also discussed. Lastly, the audience is motivated to tap into their “inner genius” to generate IP.
Dr. Baker earned a Ph.D. in Electrical Engineering from the Georgia Institute of Technology and received his Juris Doctorate from Lewis & Clark College of Law in Portland, OR. He spent 18 years in industry with Hewlett Packard, Sharp Labs of America, and IPValue Management Corp.
