But what is the patent really about? And how did HP get it?</p> <p>IP attorney Dave Madden of Mersenne Law LLC will present a quick overview of the patent process and then discuss the HP patent itself. It's very short (only 5 pages) and it's about an area of technology that's familiar to many engineers (binary representation of numbers in a computer), so it's a good vehicle to get into a discussion about the patent system, rather than the intricate details of a complicated invention.</p> <p>Join us at the OTBC offices at noon on Thursday, February 4, 2010, for a brown-bag lunch, discussion and Q&A.</p> <p><b>Location</b>: OTBC, 12725 SW Millikan Way, Suite 300 (reception in Suite 101) <b>Date</b>: Thursday, February 4, 2010 <b>Time</b>: noon to 1pm <b>Max</b>: Blue line, Beaverton Central stop (one stop west of the Beaverton Transit Center) <b>Driving</b>: Directions <b>Parking</b>: Free parking in the parking garage next door to our building <b>Cost</b>: Free (bring your lunch!)</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="http://www.meetup.com/otbc-events/calendar/12413791/">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
