Dr. Bijan Tadayon, J.D. – Co-Founder, MaxValueIP, LLC
Dr. Bijan Tadayon, J.D., is a co-founder of MaxValueIP, LLC, an IP consulting firm, with experience in patent valuation, patent auction, patent pool, patent search, patent prosecution, patent validity, and patent litigation support. Their clients include some of the biggest corporations and some of the best hi-tech start ups in the world. For 5 years, he was the Director of Intellectual Properties for ContentGuard, Inc., a major DRM comany, which is a Xerox-PARC spin-off, jointly owned by Microsoft, Time Warner, and Thomson, with Sony as one of the patent licensees. Content Guard filed about 400 new applications, with 70 issued US and foreign patents, bringing a huge value for its investors. He was a co-founder of an educational multi-media software company. He worked for the Naval Research Lab for more than 5 years, as a semiconductor researcher. He trained more than 100 patent examiners, while he was a patent examiner (for more than 5 years). He has given many invited technical and IP lectures at the US Patent Office. He was involved in the Patent Office Training Advisory Board. He has expertise in many diverse technical fields (Digital Rights Management (DRM), semiconductors, transistors, software, Internet, security, image processing, telecommunication, and data compression). He has had about 80 publications and presentations (related to semiconductors and high-speed transistors), many pending or issued US and foreign patents related to Internet security, digital rights management (DRM), and semiconductors. He got his Ph.D. degree from Cornell University (related to semiconductors and circuits, with Prof. Lester Eastman), and in the early 1990s, he and his brother designed and fabricated the fastest GaAs-based Hetero junction Bipolar Transistor (MOCVD-grown) in the world. He got his BS degree in Applied Physics from Cornell, ranking second in his class. He is also a graduate of the Georgetown Law School
Dr. Saied Tadayon, Ph.D. – Patent Attorney
Dr. Saied Tadayon has over 19 years of experience in semiconductor research & development, computer programming, information technology, product development & design, project management, business development, and intellectual property. He has designed technical solutions for complex and challenging IT projects, and he has successfully led large IT teams in all phases of solution life cycle (proposal, requirement gathering, design, development, implementation, testing, deployment, and maintenance). He has experience in business and patent consulting, patent prosecution, and creating IP portfolios.
Dr. Jewel B. Barlow – Director, Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel
As Director of the Glenn L. Martin Wind Tunnel, Dr. Barlow has managed the activities of the professional staff and directed the planning and execution of more than 1000 wind tunnel research and development programs on vehicles and other articles for industrial firms and government agencies in addition to providing educational experiences to numerous undergraduate and graduate students. This has included experiments totaling more than 9,000 hours of wind tunnel time on aerodynamics of automobiles and trucks and experiments totaling more than an additional 10,000 hours on aerodynamics of helicopters, aircraft of various classes, wind turbines, submarines, sailing yacht sails & appendages, powered yacht superstructure, architectural aerodynamic studies of existing and planned building complexes, aerodynamics of inflatable structures for various applications, a wide range of other applications, and extensive studies for enhancing testing methods.
Dr. Barlow has served as a consultant to a number of companies and directed research contracts for companies and government agencies.
Dr. Barlow’s primary research interests are flight mechanics and applied aerodynamics. He taught undergraduate courses on history of aeronautics, rocket and jet propulsion, astronautics and orbital theory, theoretical aerodynamics, stability and control, airplane design, boundary layer theory, engineering analysis, and flight dynamics. He taught graduate courses in atmospheric flight mechanics, atmospheric flight control, compressible and viscous aerodynamics, and helicopter stability and control. He has directed 9 Ph.D. thesis and served on Ph.D. committees of 11 other students. He has directed 15 M.S. thesis and served on many other M.S. thesis committees. He continues to direct graduate thesis research.
