SSTI annual conferences don't come in a box. We don't publish proceedings or post conference materials.

NASA, NSF Take Hits in House Budget

Monday, July 26, 2004

It seems discussion on Capital Hill of the burgeoning federal deficit is loudest when the House, Senate or Administration considers the VA, HUD and Independent Agencies appropriations bill. Perhaps the bill always serves as the fall guy because alphabetically it is the last of the 13 appropriations bills Congress considers, then ignores and then hurriedly mushes together with the other unpassed funding bills several months into the new fiscal year.

Flat CDFI Funding Rare "Highlight" in House VA, HUD, Independent Agencies Bill

Monday, July 26, 2004

Patent Reform Bill Would Raise the Stakes for Small Business IP Practices

Wednesday, June 6, 2007

The U.S. patent system has long been an outlier in its approach to protecting intellectual property (IP) rights. While every other industrialized country awards IP protection to the first party to apply for a patent, the U.S. system bases its IP decisions on the first inventor of a particular technology. As foreign markets have become more important to high-tech companies seeking to go global from day one, this approach has complicated the country's ability to enter into international agreements that would protect the IP rights of U.S.
