Patents to BP’s rescue
While BP and the government are still floundering in dealing with the catastrophe, we think that a certain look at the patent landscape might guide Mr. Tony Hayword, CEO - BP with a promising business strategy for the future. More often than not, the business decisions involving the patent due diligence / strategic IP kind have had a desired effect on the final outcome.
In addition to the $20 Billion fund dedicated to oil spills, it would also be prudent to look at the intellectual property of companies with deep sea oil capping technology. The immediate steps could also dwelve into mapping its own patent portfolio for potential synergy.
The following graphs shows the top patents assignees companies holding relevant patents of interest to BP at this juncture to seek deep sea oil capping technologies and one of them could be a potential target for BP to acquire or to in-license.

The PharmaCI conference is scheduled to be held on 15th - 16th September 2009 at New York. Ed Rozenberg, one of the founders of Dolcera will present a talk on “Unlocking the hidden potential from the abandoned molecules. - A systematic CI driven approach!”
With the advancement of pharma industry there are two trends which we have witnessed that each company is focusing on a handful of therapeutic areas and exiting from other therapeutic areas resulting in “orphaned” and “abandoned” molecules. More so, many other companies are targeting smaller subpopulations in many therapeutic areas based on the latest scientific understanding.
Dolcera will unfold that how competitive intelligence can help to utilize the accumulated knowledge (clinical trials, toxicology analysis etc.) of the abandoned molecules to bring them to the market very quickly. The strategy will be a combination of scientific, market and patent intelligence to help unlock very valuable opportunities.
We sincerely hope that this presentation from us would help the research community from some of the world’s top pharma, biotech and health care companies such as Global Pharma Alliance, Zymogenetics, Pfizer, Boehinger Ingelheim, Roche Diagnostics to name a few.
We welcome all our blog readers to be part of this conference and contribute to the knowledge shared.

Message Scheduling in Mobile
I have searched on Mobile Scheduling in Mobile and there are very few patents in this field. US6505052, WO2004025974 are two among them.So, there is a lot of scope in finding novel things in this field.
Normally we do messaging through our mobiles. Some times we keep remainders to wish our friend on his birthday or need to send message at particular time.
I got a idea why cant the mobile has a feature of Scheduled Mobile messaging?
