Eytan Halon, The Jerusalem Post; Technion sues own lecturer, claims intellectual property infringement
"The Technion–Israel Institute of Technology in Haifa has
filed a rare lawsuit, the first in over two decades, against one of its
own members of staff.
The research university is suing Prof. Eli
Ben-Sasson, a senior lecturer in computer science at the Technion, for
50% of his stake in blockchain company StarkWare Industries. The
Technion alleges that he founded the company based on intellectual
property that he developed at the university.
The Technion is also suing Michael Riabzev, a PhD candidate in computer science, who co-founded StarkWare with Ben-Sasson."
Issues and developments related to Intellectual Property (e.g. Copyright, Fair Use, Patents, Trademarks, Trade Secrets) and Open Movements (e.g. Open Access, Open Data, Open Educational Resources (OER)), examined in the "Intellectual Property and Open Movements" and "Ethics of Data, Information, and Emerging Technologies" graduate courses I teach at the University of Pittsburgh School of Computing and Information. -- Kip Currier, PhD, JD
