The MIT Club of South Texas is proud to present an evening with Margaret Boulware, Shareholder, Intellectual Property, at the Jenkens & Gilchrist law firm. Ms. Boulware's practice in intellectual property includes patent practice with an emphasis on chemistry and biotechnology. She also has expertise in trademark, copyright and licensing matters, particularly in the Internet and e-commerce areas. She was appointed by the Secretary of Commerce to serve as the Chair of the Patent Public Advisory Committee.

Ms. Boulware's practice has included litigation experience in state and federal court in cases involving intellectual property issues. She tried the first validity and infringement arbitration of a U.S. patent, which case was tried before the International Chamber of Commerce. In addition to litigation experience, Ms. Boulware has prosecuted patents in chemical, mechanical and biotech areas. She procured pioneer patents on cattle cloning in the U.S.

Among her many honors and accomplishments, Ms. Boulware is a Life Fellow of the Texas Bar Foundation and a Founding Fellow of the American Intellectual Property Law Association. She is a past President of the American Intellectual Property Law Association and Secretary of the National Inventor's Hall of Fame.

ARE YOU A MEMBER YET?

So far this has been a great year for the MIT Club of South Texas.  MIT On The Road was a big hit, with over 90 people in attendance.  We've had a cooking class, and great seats for the Aeros.  More importantly, we've had over 90 people join the club.  It's a good start, but we still have a long way to go if we are going to make our goal of two hundred members.

Why should you join?

There are the selfish reasons for joining:

• You can save on every event with the lower member's price.

• You will have the opportunity to attend members-only events.

• You will receive, or if you are a renewing member, continue to receive priority announcements and reminders for club events.  (Last year's members who haven't renewed will no longer receive priority announcements after mid-March.)

Then there are the unselfish reasons (which are really selfish ones, too, if you consider the benefits to your community):

• Every year the club sends one or two local science teachers to MIT for a one-week course to update their science teaching skills.  (You can give a little extra help here by adding a few dollars for LEAP, our Leadership in Education Program.)

• Every year the club awards a prize in the regional science fair.

Got Email?

We often send email announcements as an alternative to newsletters sent via US Mail and we use email addresses provided by MIT.  However, MIT has email addresses for less than half of South Texas alumni, so we suspect there are many addresses yet to be collected.  You can easily provide MIT with your email address (and any other contact information) at the MIT Address Update Website

We also use the email address you provide on your membership form for Preferred Service Announcements.  Only Dues-paid members receive these announcements (by either email, fax, or US Mail.)  

To ensure that you get the maximum benefit from the Club, be sure to register your email address with MIT and also include it on your membership coupon.
