I'm back, from Portland

I have moved to Portland to take a job at Portland State University. And my term on the Association of University Technology Managers board will end in March. Thus, I should soon have time to write a bit more about intellectual property law, policy & related issues.

I'll note today that the Licensing Executives Society seems to have truly launched their certification program. To be grandfathered in, one must meet a few specific criteria, and then pay regular new maintenance fees. We are becoming the new attorneys of the world. I do wonder if licensing professionals, who are also attorneys, will pay both fees? At least the work to keep certified in both areas should be similar!
