Tech Transfer News: America Invents Act
Technology Transfer Offices (TTOs) around the world have been preparing for the America Invents Act (AIA) since the act was signed in 2011. Now in effect, the much hailed "first-inventor-to-file" provisions of the AIA resulted in some day-to-day patent practice changes around the USA.
