In recent years, we have experienced an exponential growth in software innovations. From fueling the new health and medical records storage and retrieval, to social networking, to new applications for mobile devices, software has been a valuable intellectual property asset. The United States Supreme Court has decided key issues last year in its opinion in the Bilski matter that have impact on all software companies. Come hear the rules that apply and strategies that can be followed to protect software intellectual property in this interactive discussion.

GPEC, Greater Phoenix Economic Council, is a driving force in making Arizona a global player in solar and alternative energy technologies and entrepreneurial economic development opportunity. GPEC has a mission to attract quality businesses to the Greater Phoenix region from around the world, and to advocate and champion foundational efforts to improve the region’s competitiveness.
Speaker Bio
Broome is at the helm of one of the longest-standing regional public-private partnerships for economic development. He is a proven leader with 20-plus years of experience in community-building and economic development, new company creation, formation of public-private partnerships and public policy design.
Broome’s tenure at GPEC has led to the attraction of 120 plus companies creating more than 22,500 jobs and over $5.8 billion in capital investment to Greater Phoenix.
In Arizona, Broome has been credited with developing economic development programs that have redefined public policy and improved statewide competitiveness.
In 2009, Broome worked with the business community, public-sector leaders and state partners to orchestrate the passage of Arizona’s landmark Renewable Energy Tax Incentive Program, a $350 million tax credit to stimulate renewable energy investment in Arizona. The program has already drawn eight companies to Greater Phoenix since January, resulting in more than 1,350 jobs and $153.2 million in capital investment.
Broome also designed the Arizona Global Network, a collaborative model that unites the urban and rural markets of Greater Phoenix, Tucson, Flagstaff and Yuma in attracting foreign direct investment to Arizona. GPEC’s international focus has led to foreign direct investment wins for Greater Phoenix, most notably the attraction of China-based Suntech-the world’s largest producer of solar panels. Suntech is the first Chinese renewable leader to bring manufacturing jobs to the U.S., and this expansion marks the company’s first-ever U.S. manufacturing investment.
