Maryland Chapter Upcoming Event All Hands on Deck and Haul Away for “Networking Piratical” Wednesday, September 24, 2008 The USS CONSTELLATION Our good mate NOAA's Weather Eye spies near perfect weather Wednesday - the finest day of the week, in fact - "Mostly sunny, with a high near 74. Northeast wind between 11 and 13 mph." No foul winds forecast - a beautiful early autumn evening for Networking. Catering by Sacha's - always to rave reviews. If you've ever wanted to visit the USS Constellation, you'd be hard pressed to do better - or with better company!
Climb aboard and help kick off the 2008-2009 season at one of our most popular venues – the USS Constellation. Last November's voyage was a huge success, and favored with unseasonably fair winds. This year we're taking no chances on a late season squall! Catch up with your old shipmates, meet new ones, and learn how one of Maryland's leading companies is fighting piracy at home and on the high seas. Aaaarrrrggghhh! The Maryland Chapter is pleased to present Scott Markow “Countering the Counterfeiters” How Black & Decker Interdicts Intellectual Property Piracy Scott B. Markow is Senior Patent Counsel for The Black & Decker Corporation in Towson, Maryland, where he manages all aspects of intellectual property for several business units.
