TECH VALLEY CHAPTER
INTELLECTUAL ASSET STRATEGIST EMMETT MURTHA TO SPEAK
AT NOVEMBER 10TH LOCAL LES EVENT
A meeting of the Tech Valley Chapter of the Licensing Executives Society will be hosted by RPI at the Heffner Alumni House, 1301 Peoples Avenue in Troy on Thursday, November 10, 2005 beginning at 6:00 p.m. A reception will follow the program. Emmett Murtha, President and CEO of Fairfield Resources International, and former Director of Licensing for IBM and past national president of LES, will speak on the topic of "Finding IP with Licensing Value".
At IBM, Mr. Murtha was named Director of Licensing in 1981, leading a group which acquired rights from others under patents, copyrights, trademarks and technology, and also granted licenses under IBM's intellectual property. He was responsible as well for worldwide licensing policies and practices. Between 1987 and 1997, IBM's annual royalty revenues grew by over seven thousand percent.
Mr. Murtha formed Fairfield Resources International in 1997 after 35 years with IBM. The firm serves clients interested in developing, organizing and leveraging their intellectual assets, as well as in related strategy development and licensing transactions.
