The Licensing Executives Society is a professional society comprised of more than 6,000 members engaged in the transfer, use, development, manufacture and marketing of intellectual property. The Michigan Chapter is led by Michael Spink, a shareholder in the Ann Arbor office of Brinks, one of the largest intellectual property law firms in the United States, and Mark A.

His presentation will share the "nuts and bolts" of developing a licensing program. Eric Sosenko, a shareholder at Brinks and chair of the firm's task force on patent reform, will discuss "Putting Corporate Intelligence to Use in a Post-AIA World." One of the central provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, which went into effect on March 16, 2013, changed the U.S. system of awarding rights to a patent from a "first-to-invent" system to a "first inventor-to-file" system for patent applications filed on or after March 16. The law also expands the definition of prior art used in determining patentability. Sosenko will address the importance of corporate intelligence in this AIA world. The meeting will run from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m. at Brinks, 524 S. Main St., Suite 200, Ann Arbor. The cost is $20 to attend and includes lunch.
