Author for New Authoritative Book, Inside the Minds: The Impact of Bilski on
Business Method Patents

IRVINE, Calif., Oct. 8 /PRNewswire/ -- Bradley D. Blanche, an Intellectual
Property shareholder with Greenberg Traurig, is a featured author in the
recently released book, Inside the Minds: The Impact of Bilski on Business
Method Patents, published by Aspatore Books, a Thomson Reuters Business. The
book offers perspective from experienced attorneys at some of the nation's
leading law firms on the effects of the Bilski decision on the patent
community. Blanche contributed the chapter on "The Unintended Effects of
Bilski on the Patentability of Software and Computer-Related Inventions."

According to Aspatore Books, The Impact of Bilski on Business Method Patents
is an authoritative, insider's perspective on representing clients and
understanding recent developments in this area of law. The book outlines the
recent Federal Circuit decision and discusses the controversies related to
that decision, including the procedural changes, the new legal standard for
patent eligibility, and the intended and unintended effects of Bilski. The
book offers innovative tips and strategies from the authors for filing patents
within the current legal environment and for navigating through this evolving
area of patent law.

Blanche's practice focuses on building strategic patent portfolios that
protect his clients' core technology. He has experience counseling clients in
nearly all aspects of intellectual property, including formulating competitive
intellectual property strategies, drafting validity, infringement, and freedom
to operate opinions, drafting and negotiating complex technology, patent and
software licenses, and litigating patent and trademark matters. His core
technical experience has focused on technologies involving computer-related
inventions, software, business methods, and medical devices.

"This was a great opportunity to share my knowledge, and it was a thrill to be
asked to contribute to this publication," said Blanche. "It's rewarding to be
allowed to share what I've learned about the opportunities and challenges in
this evolving area of intellectual property law."
