Navigating Pitfalls Between Open Source and Patented Software
October 23, 2012
Tel Aviv, Israel
ACC Israel
GKH Law Offices
Whether a company chooses to use open source software or to develop and patent proprietary software solutions, the road ahead is fraught with pitfalls. Open source can be all of the good, the bad, and the ugly. . . What are the risks of using open source software? How do you develop the tools to manage the use of this important resource without risking your business goals? Can an open source approach be a business model to increase revenue? And if you patent your software, how do you decide whether to protect the black box? Are your patents properly targeted to generate revenue? And how do you decide which aspects of a complex software system warrant patent protection?
In this morning seminar, Dr. Adi Gillat from GKH and Darren Jiron from Finnegan will provide a roadmap for maximizing value achieved when using open source software and when developing software patenting strategies.
