Introduction to IP & Interacting with the OTL
Jessica A. Connor, MS
ShayGlenn, LLP

Abstract: "I plan to give suggestions on how to have a positive interaction with the OTL, how to "help them (the OTL) help you", and the role the OTL plays in the inventorship/ownership and commercialization process. "

Biosketch: Jessica Anne Connor, MS is currently working as Intellectual Property Manager at Baxano, Inc and as a patent agent with ShayGlenn LLP where she writes patent applications, provisional patent applications, and office action responses.
