Professional development session features ADM patent agent
On October 17 Scott Bloomer, patent agent with Archer Daniels Midland Co., presented a workshop titled, “Making sense of patents: corporate IP perspectives.” More than two dozen students and postdocs attended the session. Bloomer discussed the differences between patenting in a university and corporate setting and the different types of intellectual property. He also shared a wealth of advice about what to patent and how, pointing out that having a patent does not guarantee you the right to practice.
