Untimely death of John K. Borchardt

We recently learned of the death of John K. Borchardt at the ACS Leadership Conference in Dallas, Texas, in January. John was a friend to many members of SCHB. He had written an article for this issue of Small Chem Biz: The ACS Committee on Patents and Related Matters (page 4) John Borchardt operated his own consulting/technical writing firm, Southhaven Communications, since 2004. He was an ACS career consultant for 15 years. He was the author of the ACS/Oxford University Press Book Career Management for Scientists and Engineers. He had more than 1500 articles published in a variety of magazines, newspapers and encyclopedias. As an industrial chemist, he held 30 U.S. and more than 125 international patents and was the author of more than 130 peer-reviewed papers. He served on the ACS Joint Board Council Committee Patents and Related Matters.

The ACS Committee on Patents and Related Matters

245th National ACS Meeting

April 7-11, 2013 New Orleans LA Division of Small Chemical Businesses

Calendar of Events

No matter what the size of your organization, patents can be major importance to its financial success. Once the almost exclusive domain of companies, universities and units of the federal government such as the national laboratories have become quite active in obtaining patents and licensing them. Therefore, patent-related matters are important to most ACS members including many members of the Division of Small Chemical Businesses. The ACS Committee on Patents and Related Matters (CPRM) is a joint committee of the ACS Council and the ACS Board of Directors. It meets at each ACS National Meeting, usually on Saturday. Much of its work is carried out by its four subcommittees. The Legislation and Regulation Subcommittee monitor intellectual property issues of importance to ACS members and chemists in general. It works to insure that ACS members interests are included in debate and discussion about legislation and regulations affecting intellectual property. When appropriate, it visits policy makers and explores collaborations with other intellectual property organizations outside the ACS. It maintains a liaison to the copyright subcommittee of the ACS Joint Board Council Committee on Publications. The Education Subcommittee provides information on intellectual property issues that is useful and needed to the general ACS member. This includes a patent primer for chemists.

The Awards Subcommittee seeks to highlight and acknowledge the intellectual property contributions of chemists. One way it does this is to solicit nominations for the National Inventors Hall of Fame and the National Medal of Technology and other appropriate awards. This subcommittee guides the nominations

Hi everyone, Welcome to New Orleans! Things are moving ahead with the ACS Division of Small Chemical Businesses. We will have a strong presence at the ACS National Meetings in New Orleans, LA (April 7-11, 2013), as well as in Indianapolis, IN (Sept 8-12, 2013). We have also been establishing a presence at the ACS Regional Meetings. Currently these include the following. Central Regional Meeting (CERM), Mt.

To even further the SCHB Division, we are extending our outreach program to include other professional meetings in 2013. These include the American Association for the Advancement of Science (AAAS), Feb 14-18, 2013 in Boston, MA; American Physical Society (APS), Mar 18-22, 2013 in Baltimore, MD; and Conference on Lasers and Electro-Optics (CLEO) June 9-14, 2013 in San Jose, CA. This is all thanks to an Innovative Project Grant Award grant from ACS. As you can see elsewhere in the newsletter, Joe Sabol, Program Chair, has established a wonderful Spring Program in New Orleans, LA. As before, we will have a booth at ACS Expo along with booths for small chemical businesses. Furthermore, we have a great reception planned at Tomas Bistro in New Orleans on April 9th, Tuesday. Please feel free to visit us at the reception, at the Expo, in New Orleans or through our social media platforms on LinkedIn, ACS Network, Twitter, and/or Facebook. As our programs grows, our call for volunteers continues to grow. This could be at any of our national meetings or even on our monthly telephone Executive Committee meetings.

Regional Meeting Report

ACS regional meetings provide an alternative to the large semi-annual national meetings. SCHB plans programming at four ACS regional meetings in 2013 and we hope that you can attend one or more. SCHB has two models for regional meetings: 1) two half-day sessions on resources and true stories and sponsorship of a coffee break, and 2) sending a SCHB representative, with poster and other materials, to solicit ideas and members. However, SCHB can sponsor other sessions if a member proposes and is willing to organize. In addition, ACS offers leadership courses at regional meetings and SCHB will sponsor the tuition (a member benefit) for a member who is interested in becoming more involved in the division. If you are aware of a 2013 regional meeting close to your location and you would like to participate, please contact Program Chair Joe Sabol program@ acs-schb.org with your ideas.
