NOVEMBER 2016 UPDATE

The historic paradigm shift to smart green personalized transportation was evident this month during both the "China and the Electric Vehicle" panel at the Licensing Executives Society Annual Meeting and the all-day forum "Mobility Innovation in the 21st Century" at the Automotive Manufacturing Meetings. The restless action will be on prominent display in January at the North American International Auto Show in Detroit with the premier of AutoMobili-D. This unprecedented exhibit will showcase advanced driver assist and autonomous vehicle innovation developed by entrepreneurs and tech start-ups which the traditional automotive industry is embracing to help define the new mobility. It’s different!

This month we also feature members developing secure cryptographic tools, sensitive chemical sensors and deep expertise about the largest intellectual property community, China. The curated I-Hub helps members access relevant knowledge to commercialize IP with technology landscaping software, powerful databases, special reports, government resources, in-the- pulse blogs and innovation leader presentations. We are working hard with conference partners around the globe to participate in a very full year of innovation gatherings in a new year sure to be filled with change and opportunity.

As always, we invite all readers to join our intellectual property marketplace, free of charge, and engage the community. Join and get One-Click-Closer® to being our next success story.
