Speakers

Panitch Schwarze Belisario & Nadel partner Jeffrey W. Gluck participated in a presentation titled “Oracle v. Google—Getting More (or Less) Than You Licensed” during the 2019 midwinter meeting of the American Intellectual Property Law Association in Tampa, Florida.

Oracle America v Google is a series of related intellectual property law cases that have been making their way through the courts for nearly a decade.

During the AIPLA program, Gluck discussed the cases' implications for proprietary and open source software licensing.

An intellectual property attorney, Gluck focuses his practice on electrical and computer-related technologies.

He represents clients in a variety of areas, including patent counseling and opinions, licensing and transactions, interferences, patent prosecution, and re-examinations.

He assists with trial litigation and acted as lead attorney in appellate litigation.

Gluck worked as an engineer and researcher, a university professor and as a patent examiner in addition to his experience as a patent agent and patent attorney.

While focusing mainly on multi-user, digital, wireless and satellite communications, he also worked in the areas of signal processing and control systems.

Gluck is active in various bar association committees focusing on standards and open-source software.
