This two-day, interactive, instructor-led workshop was attended by Rimon’s Senior Scientist Allison Brown from April 27-28^th, 2006 at the Toronto offices of Borden Ladner Gervais LLP (BLG).  The course was hosted by the Biotechnology Human Resource Council (BHRC), Canada’s leading source for human resource information and biotechnology skills development.  Facilitated by Patent Agents from BLG, the workshop provided attendees with an overview and “how-to” framework for patent protection in Canada and abroad.  For Allison, the course provided a valuable foundation for future involvement in Rimon’s IP strategies. 

Five valuable things that she took away from the course were:

1.  The importance of developing a strong Intellectual Property Strategy within an innovative, start-up company such as Rimon;

2.  An understanding of the criteria that determines what can be patented in the context of the Biotechnology/Life Sciences Industry;

3.  A thorough understanding of the patent granting life cycle and the role of the patent agent or attorney during the various stages of the patenting process;

4.  Effective techniques and available resources for performing prior-art searches;

5. Knowledge of the components, functions, and rules of the Patent Application. This included hands-on experience writing descriptions and claims for sample inventions.

As part of the Wound Healing Society's 16th Annual meeting in Scottsdale, Arizona in May of this year, Daniel Martin gave a presentation on the application of biomatierals and its effect on healing in diabectic wounds in mice.

Other presentations were given by Rimon staff on our three key technologies: MI Theramer™, AM Theramer™, and Angiobeads™.

Rimon employees attended the 16th annual meeting of the Wound Healing Society (WHS) in Scottsdale, Arizona from May 14 - 17, 2006. The meeting draws the leading academic, clinical, industrial, and government players in wound healing science. For Rimon, it was an opportunity to convey what we have learned through our own dedicated research efforts and discover new advancements in wound healing as presented by fellow attendees.  Rimon gave two presentations at the conference and funded work that was nominated for the Young Investigators Award.  Our three key technologies were represented: MI Theramer™, AM Theramer™, and Angiobeads™.  Rimon’s products drew attention from both large and small industrial colleagues.
