Welcome to Episode 7 of IP Obsessed, which is all about software patents – and the rejections that will very likely arise along the way to successfully patenting them. Tina and Michelle talk with one of the most successful women patent attorneys in this highly specialized area, their partner Anne Davis Barry.

Anne co-leads one of the  busiest computer science and artificial intelligence patent practices in the country. She's a computer scientist, mathematician, and former IBM engineer; she's taught patent law for 20 years and loves to mentor new talent; and she grows beautiful dahlias. Anne tells us that patenting software is a lot like traveling over frozen ice - you need to know where you're standing and choose your path wisely.

The IP Duo - Cantor Colburn Partners Michelle Ciotola, Trademark & Copyright Attorney, and Tina Dorr, Patent Attorney, are Obsessed with IP.
