Keynote Talk: Patenting Actions that Speak Louder thanWords Mike Pellegrino (Pellegrino & Associates) 8:15 – 9:30 am

ABSTRACT Edward Snowden rocked the world in 2013 revealing massive multi-government programs to collect and characterize massive amounts of data on world citi zens. One purpose was to characterize behaviors, clas sify those behaviors, and act on behaviors classified as a threat to national security. Born out of the 9/11 attacks, this type of signals intelligence attempted to bypass massive gaps in human intelligence that failed to identify the attacks. Signals intelligence served as the backbone of multi-billion dollar investments to better understand and respond to world threats in a scalable, reliable, cost-effective manner. The labor of a patent analyst is similar. While not commissioned CIA agents, patent analysts often have to discover competitive threats and market opportu nities using laborious processes whose outcomes are analyst dependent, oftentimes with shrinking re source pools. In this session, Mike Pellegrino will pres ent an emerging field of behavioral patent analysis that departs from customary textual analysis, demon strating how scores of signals embedded in patenting data can help patent analysts produce consistent and defensible analysis outcomes using auditable data hiding in plain sight. BIOGRAPHY Mike Pellegrino is the Founder and President of Pellegrino & Associates, LLC (P&A), a boutique intel lectual property (IP) valuation firm. He has extensive experience valuing patents and other forms of IP, establishing royalty rates, and evaluating businesses.

His company engagements number more than 400 for more than 200 clients, ranging from Fortune 100 compa nies to startups. Courts at the state and federal level, tax jurisdictions, and arbitration panels have accepted Mike’s work for issues including bankruptcy valuations, estate tax valuations, copyright infringement claims, trade secret misappropriation claims, patent infringement claims, breach of contract claims and others. He is the author of first and second editions of BVR’s Guide to Intellectual Property Valuation, with more than 1,000 copies in circu lation among attorneys, tech transfer officers, business valuation firms, competing IP valuation firms, and more. In addition, his finance- and software-related articles ap pear in internationally and nationally recognized outlets. Mike has taught IP valuation concepts to officials from the governments of Brazil, Azerbaijan, Estonia, Thailand, Guatemala, and New Zealand on behalf of the U.S. State Department. He has counseled and testified before legis lators about valuation issues. He was also instrumental in helping to change Indiana law regarding the valuation of embedded application software for personal property tax reporting purposes and for the taxation of patent-derived income. In addition to his valuation expertise, Mike developed a state-of-the-art patent analytics tool that provides key insights and intelligence into the patent landscape. This system removes information asymmetry rampant in the patent marketplace by consolidating millions of disparate records into a user-friendly database. His educational background includes a Bachelor’s degree in computer science from Indiana Institute of Technology and a Master’s degree in business administration from Ball State University. He also completed additional accounting coursework sufficient to fulfill the academic requirements for an undergraduate accounting degree.

The Green Perspective Devin Salmon (IFI Claims Patent Services) 9:30 – 10:00 am

ABSTRACT As pressure to achieve net zero mounts, businesses have been pledging resources and promising behav ior modifications to reduce the carbon footprint of their goods and services. Their public proclamations are encouraging. But how can stakeholders gauge whether companies are putting some of their revenue where their rhetoric is on the sustainability front? One way: tracking green patents. In this presentation, IFI CLAIMS’ Devin Salmon will discuss how green patents can be used to measure whether a company meets sustainable development and corporate governance goals or makes the grade for ESG investments. A case study, done in partnership with IALE Tecnología, on earth drilling and renewable energy patent applica tions in the U.S. offers a compelling demonstration for how such an analysis can be structured.

BIOGRAPHY Devin Salmon is currently a Product Manager at IFI CLAIMS. Devin has a BS in Mechanical Engineering fromWorcester Polytechnic Institute. She began her career at the USPTO as an examiner, followed by a short stint as an Applications Engineer working for a small microfluidics company. In 2014, she joined IP.com as a Patent Analyst delivering novelty, FTO, and landscape studies for commercial clients. While at IP.com she was also a Client Success Manager and served as the “Voice of the Customer” for the de velopment and content teams. Equipped with this experience, she realized a key component of im proving patent tools is to work fromwithin the tool providers. She has also served as a guest lecturer on patent information usage for university students, ran patent search basics training workshops, and spoke to a variety of audiences about leveraging AI for patent information users.

IFI CLAIMS Patent Services Product Review

10:00 – 10:05 am

Why IFI?

All our client databases across the globe are continually and constantly "pinging" our primary database. When we update our database - automatically and simultaneously all our client databases receive the update or correction. This process is essential and what di ff erentiates IFI among patent data suppliers. Our update process is automated, ensuring reliable data synchronization. Other data sources are not automated and leave the customer to stitch together fi le-based updates, which increases the risk of synchronization errors. Roughly 1-3 million record updates are made in CLAIMS Direct on a weekly basis, all of which are checked by proprietary algorithms and conformed to our standardized patent format. Thus, our clients do not need to restructure or update the data themselves.

Advanced Search Techniques in the CAS MARPAT Markush Chemical Structure Database

David Saari (CAS) 3:20 – 3:50 pm

ABSTRACT Advanced search techniques in the CAS Markush collection can be used to improve search precision, enhance search efficiency, or overcome limits built into the search system. These techniques apply to the MARPAT database on STNext®. Examples of advanced techniques to increase precision include subset searching, especially sequential subset searches with multiple query structures. Search failures from “query structure too complicated” sometimes can be elimi nated, and poor quality results having too many “it eration incomplete” answers can be improved (often significantly). A search in different Markush structure records (MSTR) can be used to identify patent docu ments indexed for related compounds like a starting material or intermediate and a separate reaction product. Match level can be used to expand or focus search results. The order of execution of subset searches can impact search quality (“iteration incom pletes”) and hit highlighting in the final answer.

BIOGRAPHY David Saari is an original member of PIUG. Current ly, he is a Senior Scientist in CAS IP Services, CAS, a division of the American Chemical Society. David is registered to practice as an Agent with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
