Why Talk and Think About IP
It is a fascinating problem that surrounds modern times.
It is a philosophical, economic, social, ethical, scientific, legal and management problem.
It is local to me and you; it is of interest to our colleges and Universities; it is of interest on a State level and it is of great interest on a world wide level.
Why is property of interest to me.

How I came to Think about Property

Family Property in the Bronx - 1954
My family owned no property. My father and mother rented for 40 years.
We owned no automobile. My father had zero money in the bank. I dreamed of owning a house as the
epitome of the “American good life”.
![Page 6: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)

My Family’s Admonition & Challenge
No one from my family had gone to college.
I was admonished and disciplines to get good grades in school – to learn all and well – many of you were admonished that same way.
I was told that there wish for me was that “I would have it better than they did”.

My Primary School Education
I was the only Christian in an all Jewish class in my primary school classes.
I also went to part time religious instruction From my Jewish classmates I adsorbed their
thirst for education and success. From my religious education I learned and
believed that there was more to life than financial success.

My Secondary School Education
I went to a Christian Brothers Institute down in lower Manhattan in NY City in the USA.
These brother took vows of poverty, chastity and obedience and committed themselves to the teaching of children from the lower income brackets.
From them I received the vocation to be a teacher.

My Street Education
On my one block were 700 to 1000 people. They were all in the same economic social
class. I saw happy people there who had nothing. I saw and learned what it meant to be a
“hustler”.

My Air Force Education
I was commissioned on graduation from college and became a USAF Airborne Communications Officer.
I became very familiar with the concept of secrecy and the fact that there were Communist spies out to steal US war secrets.
I had an assignment with a secret organization called FTD whose job it was to be certain that America was never caught unawares of advances in foreign technology. All the major powers had similar organizations.

My Computing in University Career
I first worked for IBM in 1957, Earlier I had met John Backus and had seen ahead to the future of Computer Languages.
I worked on the development of numerical algorithms.
I later became one of the first to work on IBM’s chess playing program.

Why Talk and Think about IP? Because I know about it and think it will
effect your working lives, the working lives of my students and the working lives of my family.
Because it is a good framework around which to build a scaffolding for your career.
Because Computer Science Students will be IP Managers.
Because all knowledge professionals, are/will be deeply involved in IP and MIP.

Lets Look at Real Property

Defining PropertyMany commentators define
property as a bundle of three rights that inure to the owner of a thing. First, the owner has the right to possession of the thing. Second, the owner has the right to use of the thing. Finally, the owner has the right to alienate or otherwise dispose of the thing
![Page 18: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)

What is my Managerial responsibility for Real property? Be certain of Legal Ownership Plan Investment in Maintenance Plan Investment in Protection Plan Investment in Development All of this involves interaction with other
instruments of society Banking, Insurance, Legal Systems all of who take an interest in my property.

Software Engineering as Property Management
Many of you have taken several courses in programming and Software engineering.
How many “working programs” have you written? What was the right language to write these programs in?
Who decided? How well did you document these programs? How well did you test these programs? Did you keep all the associated martial with the program
so that is was bundled as one piece of property? Or did you treat it as throw away stuff… If you do web programming, how much do you test –
enough or is it a throw away approach?
![Page 20: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)

Patenting Software In 1965, two employees at IBM, James W. Cooley and John W. Tukey
discovered ( rather rediscovered) the FFT. They published this after the IBM lawyers decided that they didn’t want this discovery to set the patent stage for numerical algorithms.
A central claim of what might be the earliest software patent, Prater-Wei, is in fact matrix inversion. However, the description in the patent application used linear algebra notation similar to that of textbooks published late in the 19th century, rather than more obvious matrix notation that was invented much later. The patent examiner might be excused for being duped.
IBM and Other Companies as History Two employees at IBM Coney and Tukey discovered ( rather rediscovered)
the FFT. They published this in 1962 after the IBM lawyers decided that they didn’t want to set a prescident for patents on numerical algorithms.
Control Data and Honeywell and Iowa State University - another good story I worked as a consultant for the US Patent Office – During debate on
Patenting of Software - Prater versus Wei

Japanese and Patents
The MIP is especially interesting when you look at the strategies that countries take.
The early work by Zadev on Fuzzy Logic took place in 196x.
The Japanese began working in the area with a young University Professor named XXXx published a paper and received a patent in the area. The way that the Japanese manage IP in so far as University scholars are concerned is that the University Scholar cannot receive any pay outside his/her University salary.
![Page 23: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)

Japanese and Patents II XXXX decided to “sell” his “ownership rights to
XXXXX in exchange for them building him a very modern laboratory so that he could continue his work.
From this laboratory and their partnership with XXXXgrew an enormous learmning, discovery, implementation process that benefited all of Japan.
During the 1990’s Japan had received 90% of all the patents issued in the are a od Fuzzy logic.
This national effort will pay enormous dividends for years to come. Someone made a MIP decision

24
Japanese and Patents III
Ther is another deeper reson why this decision worked.
It has to do with the mores of a people. We know that after WWII was over that
Japan was rebuilt. The way that it was built was based on the existing mores of the people ands how they worked together and how status was sought and given.

University of Wisconsin There were many things that happened to me in my life
but the reason I bring up the University of Wisconsin is that I received 2 checks form them – one from the State (the University) and one from WARF – the Wisconsin Alumni Research Foundation.
In 1925 Professor Harry Steenbock set up WARF to help manage a University of Wisconsin-Madison discovery that eventually eliminated the childhood disease rickets They also built up an endowment based on an original patent given to them by a University researcher who discovered homogenized milk.
They have dispensed over $800 M in research funds to University of Wisconsin researchers. They have supported over 50,000 projects and have about 1400 patents.
They knew about and respected IP – and managed its development.

IBM -2004 “Our company is aligned around a single
focused business model – innovation.” (We are) helping to evolve the
management of IP towards a 21st Century model that balances protection of creators’ rights with encouragement of open collaborative innovation.
We have pledged open access to technology covered by 500 IBM software patents for open source use, a first step towards creating a “patent commons”…

How much Money is Involved? For example, by proactively managing their
intellectual property estate, IBM now collects $1 billion in annual revenue. That’s MIP!
How much do Universities as a whole generate form IP?
How much do all 50 States generate form IP? Does the Federal Government hold patents?
How much money do other countries generate from patents?
Do all countries have the same IP laws? Who is WIPO?
![Page 46: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/46.jpg)
46
Functions of Management Planning Organizing Leading Controlling How do these related to MIP? You have to take time and gain experience
to see how to arrive at a philosophy to proceed.

47
The Intellect What is it? What part of the intellect is associated with
creativity? What is its relationship to thought? How is it distinguished from mind? What other function does it serve? How is it distinguished from will? What is its relationship to innovation? What is its relationship to art? In what sense does it generate property?
![Page 48: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/48.jpg)

I am the generator of IP IP is not generated by the Corporation IP is not generated by the State IP is not generated by the University IP is not created by anyone but an
individual and it is owned by me until I pass it on to someone else through some legal instrument.
Of course the “I” becomes we in certain work arrangements and the organization begins to accumulate IP.
![Page 49: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/49.jpg)

What is the difference between real
(tangible) and intangible property? Intangible property has a different
economic basis. Real property in being divided reduces
(fractionates) the value of each element. Most forms of intangible property on being
divided maintains much of the original value in each element.
![Page 50: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/50.jpg)
50
The systems that developed my IP I needed gifted and talented teachers to be able to
select and transfer the basic IP of the past to me. Gifted teachers had to decide what was “worth”
teaching. I needed a library to locate stored IP. I need laboratories to participate in the
experiential component of using IP. I need the University, State and Corporation
(unless I am independently wealthy or very entrepreneurial) to continue idea development and distribution and sales– AND they need me.
I need the web to… I need KMS…
![Page 51: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/51.jpg)
51
You inherited and you invest in your IP
You have inherited (“free of charge”) much of the original intellectual capability with which you began school.
Since the initial investment to develop your basic thinking skills, you have invested $$$$ in particular varieties of higher education to develop the IP you possess today.
You have invested time and work to develop your inherited intellect until it becomes what it is today.
![Page 52: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/52.jpg)
52
You invest in your IP today Every time you registered for a course , you
have made an investment decision. The ROI may not just be IP that will return
monetary value: it may return psychic value…Don’t minimize this!
In the IT field it is essential that you choose the right courses, books, organizations, teachers, training, professional organizations etc, if you are to arrive at a point that you can successfully and ethically develop IT products – IT/IP products.
![Page 53: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)
53
Your Management of Your IP You invest in Legal Ownership of your IP – the
degree Invest in Maintenance- Continuing Education Invest in Protection – Patents etc, (There is much
more to say here) Invest in Development – Pursue advanced degrees,
invest your time and money or an organizations time and money to Develop IP.
You will do this just like you would do if you had real property until the day you die and I salute you for committing to doing so whether you do it for the State or yourself.

54
Managing Intellectual Property Do you begin to see a bigger view of what I mean
by MIP? Do you begin to see the intangible nature of the
IP you acquire? Can you imagine estimating the half-life of the
material you are learning today? In the future who will manage the development
of this IP? You? Your Company? Your Government?
I believe that shared management is essential if both your handler, you and society are to prosper?

55
Managing Intellectual Property What People and Organizations currently Own IP in
Lincoln ? Nebraska? China? How much revenue comes from IP in this city? State?
Country? How many pieces of IP produce zero revenue and thus
produce a net loss when you count the cost to protect? How many pieces of IP does the University of
Nebraska own? TKU? NTU? Is the University committed to MIP – above and
beyond the regulatory approach…Do they understand what MIP means?
![Page 56: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/56.jpg)
56
Others want/need your IP/IT capabilities
Thieves Will there (or is there) IP wars? Corporations Universities Your family – you may be the bread winner If you have “rich” IT/IP, you are perceived as
having value. Is that all there is? Should your value as a human
being be measured by your ability to generate IP. What does “cultivate virtue” mean? (NTU)

IP and Privacy & Confidentiality Your personal information is your IP Your Personal information is worth
keeping confidential - to the degree you wish it so.
Your personal information is worth keeping private to the degree you wish it so.
Others have responsibility to protect your private information.
Personal Identity theft is an MIP issue

The Idea Factory Did Edison Invent the Light Bulb? NO!! Why does he get all the credit? You’ll need to know the History of the
making of GE – the interlocking directory of creative IP – the entire electric system- light sockets, safety fuses, generators, wiring and MARKETING.
He (they) developed a Systems View of MIP. Is the College or University an Idea Factory ? Should it be?

Edison’s Patents
Edison executed the first of his 1,093 successful U.S. patent applications on 13 October 1868, at the age of 21. He filed an estimated 500–600 unsuccessful or abandoned applications as well.

Columbia University When a key patent on combining genetic
material to create human drugs expired 3 years ago, a spigot that had sent $200 million in royalty payments to Columbia University was suddenly turned off.
Columbia turned to a strategy the drug industry has turned to high art -- winning another patent for the same invention -- & began demanding payments anew.
Now biotechnology titan Genentech Inc. is suing the school, claiming the invention was already in the public domain. The dispute highlights the thorny issue of university patents, many of which stem from research paid for -- as in the Columbia case -- with public funds.

62
University Patent Warnings Publications and other forms of public disclosure
relating to patentable inventions should be avoided until the University has actually filed a patent application or otherwise protected the invention.
Unique biological or other materials which have commercial value should not be transferred outside of the University (e.g., to industrial or academic scientists) without a Material Transfer Agreement (MTA) signed by the recipient scientist and an authorized representative of his or her organization.
All computer software must be reported to the University for an evaluation of patentability and commercial potential of the subject matter.

E-Patent Strategies I
Patent Due Diligence for Organizations Financing Technology Companies
Due Diligence over IP is becoming increasingly important in mergers, acquisitions, venture capitol, IPO’s and other financial dealings involving technology companies.
In these cases patient due diligence can make or break a deal or radically alter the true worth of the transaction.
![Page 65: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/65.jpg)
65
E-Patent Strategies II
Factor 1 – Market capitalization of technology companies includes IP, particularly patents, as critical to market share and profit margins.
Factor 2 -M&A activity in the entertainment industry , where copyright of content and trademarks, are core to valuation have forced due diligence in M&A.
![Page 66: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/66.jpg)
66
E-Patent Strategies III
Factor III- software developments are clearly now patentable and old line companies are now in the swim. Patented software enabled financial services and telecom service providers are active players in the software patent world
E.g. Citibank, Merrill Lynch, State Street Bank and Trust

Three Practical Tips I
Competitive Advantage – A competitive advantage can be had in the financing of technology companies by those who obtain access to patent professionals who can add value to a financial transaction.
An Epidemic – Basic title problems are everywhere in the patent world
Budget ; Sixteen items to consider
![Page 70: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/70.jpg)
70
Sixteen Minimum Checks I Properly identify all patents in the
key transaction contracts and use words of conveyance for them.
Verify recorded assignments from all inventors.
Review all Patent Office filings for clouds on title.
Include all foreign patents of interest
Review all licenses, partnership agreements, employment agreements, and other relevant contracts. Watch out for ownership “leaks” especially “after developed “ inventions
Do you need an opinion letter for the patent from your patent counsel?
Ascertain if the target's patents fall within the scope of their patents.
![Page 71: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/71.jpg)
71
Sixteen Minimum Checks I How secure are the targets trade secrets? Review
its “confidentiality program”. Has the target patented its software orb its
services? Review all the target’s attorney opinion letters
regarding IP. Review all the “cease and desist” letters
regarding infringement sent and received. Query if laches has arisen, Is Infringement willful? Is the target about to be sued?
Investigate the Competitions patent portfolio. Get your pat advisor to characterize the forest, not just the trees, Where is the industry going? Where does the target fit in? Can the target protect its new products and services with patents?
Get representations and warrantees from the target and its patent counsel on all of the above.
Once above done, step back and decide what else should be done with this schedule and budget? E.g. Can the target “invent around” its competitions patents> Can the target “invent on demand” or “just-in-time”?
Remember you an always change the price; set up escrows; offsets; warrantees and ultimately you can just not close. Avoid litigation?
Verify ownership of any overlapping, related, necessary, or convenient patents copyrights or trade secrets embodies in any proprietary software or other products or services,
Remember “validity” opinions are rarely done in patent due diligence because of large expense.

Patents Business Method Patents – (UML)
Methods of doing business are patentable (see State Street Bank & Trust Co. v. Signature Financial Group, 149 F.3d 1368 (Fed. Cir. Jul. 23, 1998).
Business method patents are being filed at breakneck pace.
Many patents have been filed on methods of delivering on-line courses.
Danger of infringement liability, can force you into licensing or abandoning your software.

73
New Patent System
Some argue the need for a new patent system. My letter to the Financial Times in June 2005 Some want to cut the number of patents
issued by 90% In 2004 the Office of Patents and Copyrights
in the USA issued 165,000 patents The press says that “no wonder the Chinese
don’t want to adopt our system.”

75
Idea Theft I
After 1989 and before 9/11, the CIA reinvented itself to protect US business from “IP Theft”.
The rest of the world has little regard for the IP that is invented and distributed in the US.
You can buy the latest versions of US software on the streets of the big cities in Asia at half-pennies on the dollar. Books copyrighted by international authors are freely copied on these same streets.
Is this right? What is your ethical opinion and on what
framework does that ethical opinion sit?
![Page 76: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/76.jpg)
76
Idea Theft II India’s current laws governing electronic
commerce, copyright protection and patents are not stringent enough to prevent idea theft and other cyber crimes.
The US is urging India to protect the privacy of personal and financial data as more American Companies rely on Indians to handle their web and other data based electronic transactions.
Why might outsourcing to India be a poor MIP decision?
![Page 77: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/77.jpg)
77
What are the Legal Forms of Protecting IP?
– Patent– Copyright– Trade Mark– Trade Secret
How does one choose? What is licensing? We are at the beginnings of the legal
dimension to the MIP activity

78
Trademarks Definition & Considerations
Trademarks are defined as any word, name, symbol, device, or any combination thereof, used to identify the origin of goods and/or services in commerce.
Example: XEROX, Coca Cola, Huskers, etc... Can protect both words and designs, as well as sounds, colors.
Descriptive words incapable of trademark protection. Be sure to search any names that are not completely
descriptive that you are using in relation to your courses, both individually and as a package.
Trademark rights accrue through use, not merely registration, so search thoroughly PRIOR to your use.
Potential large liability for infringement.

79
Internet Law Considerations
Domain names can infringe trademarks, so be careful when choosing your address.
Anti-Cybersquatting Consumer Protection Act of 1999.
Be careful of using the trademarks of others in any metatags on your website.
![Page 80: Managing Intellectual Property D. F. Costello ACM Distinguished Lecturer 2006- 2007 Computer Science and Engineering University of Nebraska Lectures in](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062716/56649e045503460f94af0d2e/html5/thumbnails/80.jpg)
80
Trade Secrets Definition & Considerations
A trade secret is confidential information not generally known by the public that is valuable to a business.
Becomes a concern when outside personnel, either from another University or the private sector, are brought in to help on a project.
Cannot use secrets from another University or company.
Likewise, third parties cannot use your trade secrets if protected properly.
You may sign a non-compete clause when you leave employment or another similar instrument…

The Cost of Ideas
The number of software patents filed is soaring
Microsoft expects to file 3,000 in fiscal 2005 – up 50% from 2004

The Cost of Ideas and Idea Theft and Protection
Sun and Eastman Kodak settled their 2 year old patent infringement suit in early October 2004 for $92 million.
It was based on some early IP concerning OOP that Kodak acquired when it bought defunct Wang for $360M in 1997. Kodak was looking for $1.06 M but there are potential patent infringers not covered by the agreement that Kodak may be able to go after,

The University as an IP Factory Conceived of the University (at least in one
dimension), as an organization that identifies, organizes, re-organizes and delivers IP to:
1) Individuals intent on developing their own IP
2) Organizations willing to support the development and transmission of this IP 3) Citizens & Companies who need to
understand the role of relevant IP in their enterprises.
4) Understanding the ethics and discipline of making money off property invented in a public institution.
5) City of Intellect – TKU

Microsoft & Forgent
Scheduling software maker Forgent has filed suit against Microsoft for allegedly infringing on its patent that covers the technology behind JPEG image compression. But Microsoft has already made the first strike, filing its own lawsuit last week that asks the courts to nullify Forgent's patent.
Forgent says it was in talks with Microsoft over licensing the patent when Redmond made the first legal move. Forgent's lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court in the Eastern District of Texas by the company's Compression Labs subsidiary.

What Attitude Should I take towards IP I?
Depends on Philosophy Consider choosing to work at a College or
University.– All Intellectual Property belongs to University– No IP belongs to University– Some IP Belongs to University
Consider the Union Worker

What Attitude Should I take towards IP in a company I go to
work for? What are you doing at a Company from an
IP point of View?– Using IP that the Company Owns– Using IP that the Company Licenses– Generating IP– How the company treats you new ideas.– Is idea production an explicit or implicit
component of your employment agreement?
