Shanghai Toy Fair

David's been spending this week at the Shanghai Toy Fair in China. They are pushing their HDXRF (high-definition x-ray fluorescence) Lead in Toys Analyzer. They had quite a bit of interest. You can see part of the instrument in the left side of the booth; the head of the instrument is orange.



Anyone who is familiar with XOS is aware that one of their strengths is their patented technologies. Along with great technologies comes people who will challenge the patents so they can use the technology. For this reason XOS has 2 full time patent (intellectual property, IP) attorneys along with outside law firms to help with litigation. As a joke they sent back a picture to Jeff Klembczyk, their chief in-house patent attorney, of what life could be like for him if he doesn't win a case he's working on.

Lonely IP booth. I think it's funny!
