An international panel of patent attorneys and experts will discuss intellectual property as it relates to medical devices and biotechnology. The discussion topics include methods of protecting intellectual property (patents, trademarks, trade secrets), similarities and differences in global intellectual property right systems, and special aspects regarding medicine and biology. A case study based on a biomedical-based invention will be explored, which includes the steps of invention conception, conducting the patentability search, identification of the invention, preparing the patent application, claim construction, examination in the Patent Office, and grant. Strategies on obtaining an international patent portfolio will also be discussed.

Multiphoton Microscopy (MPM) is a non-destructive, high-resolution, optical imaging technique with demonstrated ability in thick tissues. MPM systems need femtosecond lasers for excitation of nonlinear optical signals and thus are usually developed using free-space optics. However, for in vivo imaging and clinical applications, a fiberoptic-based MPM endoscope is desirable because light can be delivered with a flexible fiber and images can be acquired with a miniature probe. The challenges for MPM endoscopy include the delivery of femtosecond optical pulses through optical fiber and the miniaturization of the scanning probe head. We will show the development of a MPM endoscope using photonic crystal fiber and 2-axis MEMS scanner.

This invited session is intended to address the needs of current and budding entrepreneurial bioengineers. It will draw on the personal experiences of the panelists, relaying their attempts to meet the demands and delights of their customers, while still managing to act responsibly for their shareholders. The audience will be asked to participate, should they wish, in a forum to debate how best to take the first big step- incorporation as a legal entity that we will call a ‘company’.

In this paper, a method of estimating both the position and the rotation angle of an object on a measurement stage was proposed. The system utilizes the radio communication technology and the directivity of an antenna. As a prototype system, a measurement stage (a circle 240mm in diameter) with 36 antennas that placed in each 10 degrees was developed. Two transmitter antennas are settled in a right angle on the stage as the target object, and the position and the rotation angle is estimated by measuring efficiency of the radio communication of each 36 antennas. The experimental result revealed that even when the estimated location is not so accurate (about a 30 mm error), the rotation angle is accurately estimated (about 2.33 degree error on average). The result suggests that the proposed method will be useful for estimating the location and the direction of an object.
