Yuri Eliezer
Yuri Eliezer was invited to share his insights on the Conscious Design Podcast™ about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intellectual Property (IP) Law.
We stand on the brink of a new era where AI could revolutionize the practice of law, particularly in the area of Intellectual Property. As Yuri Eliezer suggests, the implications are profound, from improved patent searches and drafting to potential changes in patent licensing and litigation.
Discover how to get a patent while maintaining confidentiality: Learn about provisional patent applications, the first-to-file system, and strategies for controlling disclosure in the patent application process.
With the growing adoption of e-signatures, questions and concerns have arisen regarding their legality, admissibility, and security
What are the potential cost savings and risks associated with combining multiple related inventions into a single patent application? While it may be tempting to save on filing fees, this strategy can lead to licensing and sale issues, public disclosure concerns, and invalidity risks.
A single invention (for example – an automated cleaning robot) may have many different innovations (let’s call them ‘components’) making up the entire invention. Inventors often struggle to decide if separate patent application filings are necessary for each innovation.
Yuri shares his journey to becoming a patent lawyer, his passion for helping IP clients of all sizes and stages of development, and why seeing the big picture drives his representation and leadership.

This case is China’s first patent linkability case since the implementation of the new Chinese Patent Law.

When you’ve invested a significant amount of time and resources into software tech, it’s important to understand how to properly protect it from the competition.
Five forms of intellectual property and legal protections to consider include trademarks, copyrights, patents, trade secrets, and non-disclosure agreements.
This guide will provide you the basics on each form of protection from scopes, lengths, and confidentiality considerations.

A new proposal from Congressman Thomas Massie of the 4th district of Kentucky seeks to revert our patent system from a ‘First to File’ system to a ‘First to Invent’ system. This would allow patent applicants to submit a sworn affidavit back-dating their patent priority date to the day they claim they actually invented. A patent priority date is important, as only the inventors with the earliest priority date are entitled to patent protection.

On September 21, 2021, Senators Patrick Leahy and Thomas Tillis introduced the Unleashing American Innovators Act of 2021. According to Leahy’s official press release, the proposed bill “requires the Patent Office’s satellite offices to conduct outreach to increase participation in the patent system by women, people of color, military veterans, individual inventors, and other groups that are underrepresented in the system.”
Founders Legal was invited to present to a division of patent examiners in Technology Center 3600 (View the Presentation Here). Here is a glimpse into patent examiner training and a look at what we learned.

Enablement is a means of establishing that you, the applicant, have a clear conception of the innovation or subject matter of the invention. Conception is key. There is no requirement for constructing, programming, or prior use of the invention needed to demonstrate enablement. The only requirement is to establish that you conceived of the invention. There are ways to obtain the rights to the invention from someone who initially invented it like designers, developers, or engineers. To learn more about who is an inventor check out our Inventorship Video.

Inventors are those who help conceive an aspect of the claimed subject matter in a patent application. Several tests can be used to determine who is a true inventor.
