Today I am sharing a fantastic perspective on Open Innovation patent issues from a patent attorney. Who better to take this on than an expert, right? John R. Harris’ intellectual property law practice focuses on assisting technology-based entrepreneurial companies in all facets of IP law, especially software and computer-implemented technologies. He is a partner in the…
Bioengineers have created a brain-like tissue that is three-dimensional, and is very close to the real thing! It functions in much the same way and can be kept alive in the lab for more than two months. This is going to be an incredible advancement in the study and healing of brain trauma cases and disorders…

The food sciences industry has made a startling advance this week as reported by the Washington Post. Apparently making a synthetic version of cow’s milk can be surprisingly easy: Biohackers Ryan Pandya and Perumal Gandhi are working on crafting a plant-based concoction that’s nearly identical in makeup to what’s found in grocery milk. To achieve…

From toe hairs on a gecko to bubonic plague bacteria, nature is full of beautiful surprises. What can we…
Did you know you can make tasty desserts via 3-D printing? Yes, you can whip up a pizza, a burger and now even ice cream. Students at MIT did this recently with their “Solidoodle printer,” which they designed to be able to customize ice cream treats. But the real challenge with ice cream is the…
Date rape is a global problem, and drug-laced drinks are often tied to trafficking of women. I wish we didn’t need to think about the need for innovations like this one. Fortunately, there are companies that do think about safety at a time when there are some who will take advantage of women in this…
MIT students are learning how to take the moisture from the atmosphere to nourish some of the driest places on the planet, thanks to new technology and innovative thinking. The fog harvesting equipment is especially useful in central Chile, where a series of mesh-patterned nets are trapping and and condensing tiny droplets of moisture from…
It’s getting closer to pre-season, football fans! So to kick things off (sorry!), I thought I’d share how the Green Bay Packer’s new 21,500 square-foot pro shop has redesigned it’s layout and merchandise in a cool way to attract fans The 15 month project is a complete remodel of the northern and eastern faces of…
