Dear Division Officer:
I hope this finds you well. The American Chemical Society's Joint Board-Council Committee on Patents and Related Matters and the Society's Office of External Affairs & Communications are pleased to be offering ACS members with an unusual opportunity to perform an important public service: we are seeking speakers to help improve the patent examination process for the benefit of the chemistry community. We are seeking volunteer speakers to discuss emerging developments in the chemical sciences for a U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) Technology Fair taking place on June 29, 2017. If you are interested in participating in this effort, please contact my Patent Committee colleague Brandi Neifert (b_neifert**At_Symbol_Here**acs.org 202-872-4411) at the Society's Office of External Affairs & Communications by May 26, 2017. The requested topics are listed below, but the USPTO is open to other topics. Please pass the information below to colleagues who might be interested in participating.
Location: Speakers may give their presentations from the USPTO headquarters in Alexandria, Virginia (just outside of Washington D.C.), at a satellite office (Detroit, Denver, Dallas, or San Jose), or via webcast from their homes/offices. There is no preference for in-person vs. remote presentations, and the USPTO can accommodate any of these options.
Length: Presentations typically are an hour, although seminars can run longer or shorter, depending on the speaker's preferences and topic area.
Audience: The audience for the seminars is patent examiners working in technologies related to the topic. Talks should be aimed at a level suitable for first-year graduate students.
Speech content: Typical talks spend a portion of the talk reviewing the state of the art and the development of the technology up to this point to give some context to the audience, followed by a portion in which the speaker discusses recent developments.
The speaker should avoid talking about any particular application that has been submitted to the USPTO. Speakers will be asked to fill out a Conflict of Interest form.
