The ACS Committee onPatents and Related
Mattersby
John K. Borchardt
No matter what the size of your
organization, patents can be major
importance to its nancial success.Once the almost exclusive domain
of companies, universities and units
of the federal government such as
the national laboratories have be-
come quite active in obtaining pat-
ents and licensing them. Therefore,
patent-related matters are important
to most ACS members including
many members of the Division of
Small Chemical Businesses.
The ACS Committee on Patents
and Related Matters (CPRM) is a
joint committee of the ACS Council
and the ACS Board of Directors. It
meets at each ACS National Meet-
ing, usually on Saturday. Much of its
work is carried out by its four
subcommittees.
The Legislation and Regulation
Subcommittee monitor intellec-
tual property issues of importanceto ACS members and chemists in
general. It works to insure that ACS
members interests are included in
debate and discussion about legisla-
tion and regulations affecting intel-
lectual property. When appropriate,
it visits policy makers and explores
collaborations with other intellectual
property organizations outside the
ACS. It maintains a liaison to the
copyright subcommittee of the ACS
Joint Board Council Committee on
Publications.
The Education Subcommittee
provides information on intellectual
property issues that is useful and
needed to the general ACS member.
This includes a patent primer for
chemists.

Regional Meeting Report
By Joe Sabol
Program Chair
ACS regional meetings provide an
alternative to the large semi-annual
national meetings. SCHB plans
programming at four ACS regional
meetings in 2013 and we hope that
you can attend one or more. SCHB
has two models for regional meet-
ings: 1) two half-day sessions on
resources and true stories and
sponsorship of a coffee break, and 2)
sending a SCHB representative, with
poster and other materials, to so-
licit ideas and members. However,
SCHB can sponsor other sessions if
a member proposes and is willing to
organize.
In addition, ACS offers leader-
ship courses at regional meetings
and SCHB will sponsor the tuition
(a member benet) for a member
who is interested in becoming more
involved in the division. If you are
aware of a 2013 regional meeting
close to your location and you wouldlike to participate, please contact
Program Chair Joe Sabol program@
acs-schb.org with your ideas.
