If you are a company or institution focused on bringing new technology to market, the NYSSTLC is here to assist and guide you. Established in 1990, the College of Law’s technology commercialization academic and applied learning programs through The Innovation Law Center were the first of their kind to examine the legal principles necessary to usher science and technology innovation from its earliest stages to successful commercialization. Working through the Innovation Law Center, the New York State Science and Technology Law Center has been a leader in technology commercialization for more than a decade.
NYSTAR, the New York Science, Technology, and Innovation division of Empire State Development is the primary funding source for the NYS Science and Technology Law Center.

A recent spate of initial public offerings, high-profile mergers and acquisitions, and litigation has thrust intellectual property (IP) into an increasingly critical position in global economics. Changes in the global economic environment have influenced the development of business models where IP is a central element establishing value and potential growth. In today’s business climate, organizations that base their operations on IP and innovation are far more likely to succeed. However, many organizations often fail to identify protectable IP or understand the value of and the risks to their IP, even when that IP may account for a substantial percentage of the company’s value.

The objective of this presentation is to provide entrepreneurs, start-up companies and even well-established companies a brief introduction into how to identify potentially valuable IP, generally explain the different types of IP available, and some of the various ways in which they can protect their IP. We also share some experiences on how IP can be used to provide a competitive advantage as well as attract business investment and funding.

Words are falling from our fingers like leaves off the autumn trees. We get together, eat, drink, schmooze and share, but, mostly we write. Like mad. With a focused productivity every participant finds gratifying and surprising.  6-6:30 potluck and schmooze, 6:30-8:30 writing. 8:30-9:00 share or enjoy the share.  Who’s in. This is every other week, pretty much indefinitely.

Every month, participants Game Club meeting pick a game to play, then get together and talk about their experiences! Think of this group as being a traditional book club, but with video games instead of your usual hard-covers and paperbacks. Participants discuss various aspects of the game that they liked, disliked, or simply found notable; everything from music, character design, and storytelling, to the in-game physics, level creation, or graphics quality. Anything and everything about the game can be talked about, and no matter one’s viewpoint, their input will welcomed and listened to.

Anyone can attend – no memberships necessary. So long as you’ve got the right equipment at home, and enough time and interest to play at least a little of the game, then you’re welcome to join in!

We will meet in the Community Room and begin the discussion after 7:30 pm.

This is the PERFECT night to come by the Center of Gravity and get a feel for this amazing creative community. Get a tour, get social, get your questions answered and get some quality pot luck.

You never know WHAT the fare might be on TVCOG Pot Luck Nights! Could be anything from”Tacos Tuesday,” to “Can You Fry It?” to “Nitrogen Ice Cream” and more. Check our Facebook Group

Looking for an excuse to work on that project you’ve been putting off? Want to build something awesome but need some help? Join your fellow hackers on Thursday nights to initiate creative collisions and concoct contrivances of every conceivable kind!

If you have questions about Open Hack, contact Samson Bonfante at samson@bonfante.org.

Words are falling from our fingers like leaves off the autumn trees. We get together, eat, drink, schmooze and share, but, mostly we write. Like mad. With a focused productivity every participant finds gratifying and surprising.  6-6:30 potluck and schmooze, 6:30-8:30 writing. 8:30-9:00 share or enjoy the share.  Who’s in. This is every other week, pretty much indefinitely.
