The ACS Committee onPatents and Related

Mattersby

John K. Borchardt

No matter what the size of your

organization, patents can be major

importance to its nancial success.Once the almost exclusive domain

of companies, universities and units

of the federal government such as

the national laboratories have be-

come quite active in obtaining pat-

ents and licensing them. Therefore,

patent-related matters are important

to most ACS members including

many members of the Division of

Small Chemical Businesses.

The ACS Committee on Patents

and Related Matters (CPRM) is a

joint committee of the ACS Council

and the ACS Board of Directors. It

meets at each ACS National Meet-

ing, usually on Saturday. Much of its

work is carried out by its four

subcommittees.

The Legislation and Regulation

Subcommittee monitor intellec-

tual property issues of importanceto ACS members and chemists in

general. It works to insure that ACS

members interests are included in

debate and discussion about legisla-

tion and regulations affecting intel-

lectual property. When appropriate,

it visits policy makers and explores

collaborations with other intellectual

property organizations outside the

ACS. It maintains a liaison to the

copyright subcommittee of the ACS

Joint Board Council Committee on

Publications.

The Education Subcommittee

provides information on intellectual

property issues that is useful and

needed to the general ACS member.

This includes a patent primer for

chemists.

Regional Meeting Report

By Joe Sabol

Program Chair

ACS regional meetings provide an

alternative to the large semi-annual

national meetings. SCHB plans

programming at four ACS regional

meetings in 2013 and we hope that

you can attend one or more. SCHB

has two models for regional meet-

ings: 1) two half-day sessions on

resources and true stories and

sponsorship of a coffee break, and 2)

sending a SCHB representative, with

poster and other materials, to so-

licit ideas and members. However,

SCHB can sponsor other sessions if

a member proposes and is willing to

organize.

In addition, ACS offers leader-

ship courses at regional meetings

and SCHB will sponsor the tuition

(a member benet) for a member

who is interested in becoming more

involved in the division. If you are

aware of a 2013 regional meeting

close to your location and you wouldlike to participate, please contact

Program Chair Joe Sabol program@

acs-schb.org with your ideas.
