If you’re in or around San Diego this week be sure to check out the Clean Tech Open Business Briefing this Thursday, April 10th.

The Cleantech Open is a non-profit organization that runs the world’s largest cleantech accelerator.  The Business Accelerator fosters promising startups in cleantech fields through a six-month program that includes cutting-edge entrepreneur training and mentoring (including in IP!), client and partner opportunities, and funding connections.

The business briefings bring together Clean Tech Open members and staff and early-stage clean tech start-ups and entrepreneurs.  Attendees will get an overview of the Cleantech Open and the Business Accelerator.

I will be speaking on some broad themes about the role of patents in the clean tech industry.  Entitled “Green Patents and Green Branding:  Global Perspectives and News You Can Use,” my talk will cover a range of big picture stuff and practical info on green patenting and protecting eco-marks.

The event will be held at the World Resources SimCenter in downtown San Diego from 6:00-8:00 PM.  You can find more information about the event and register here.
