[Australia-public-discuss] Anyone interested in a patents seminar by Creative Commons President?

[Ben Sturmfels]

Hi Folks,
I can't make it to this seminar but sounds interesting and may be
relevant to our patents campaign.

Obviously Creative Commons licences have nothing to do with patents
whatsoever, but I gather Creative Commons (the organisation) is
discussing something like a "patents commons".

Would love to hear from anyone who attends.

Ben

       Hello and welcome to the latest IP Australia news update.
                                    
  Creative Commons licensing seminar "A Perspective from Copyright and
                      Patent Law", 28 October 2010
                                    
    IP Australia is hosting a seminar featuring John Wilbanks, Vice
President of USA based organisation Creative Commons and Professor Brian
 Fitzgerald, Professor of Intellectual Property and Innovation at QUT.
The expert speakers will discuss how Creative Commons (CC) copyright and
         patent licenses work with reference to case studies. 
                                    
   These presentations will outline, from both a copyright and patent
perspective, how CC licenses work. They will also discuss a new model of
 patent licensing that allows patent holders to make portions of their
    patent portfolios available to the broader community while still
              retaining the defensive benefits of patents.
                                    
This free seminar will be held on the 28th of October 2010 at Discovery
     House, 47 Bowes Street, Woden, Canberra, from 2 pm to 3.30 pm.
