**活動簡介：** 在當今瞬息萬變的市場中，用知識產權（IP）增加商業收益及能夠有效解決知識產權的爭議與發明本身同等重要。對中小企業（SMEs）而言，明智的商業化能帶動業務增長並增強投資者信心，而妥善設計的爭議解決機制是有助保護合作關係與現金流，並在爭端出現時節省糾紛解決的時間。然而，資源有限與法律的複雜性，往往令中小企業在推動商業化與處理爭議時面臨挑戰。 本培訓將為中小企業提供專利商業化、合約起草以及有效解決爭議的實用策略。本次培訓的講者在知識產權商業化與爭議解決方面擁有豐富經驗，他將講解如何評估專利投資回報（ROI）與風險，點出合作與授權中必備的關鍵條款，並說明替代性爭議解決機制如何節省時間與成本。此外，他亦會提供處理侵權投訴與無意中涉及侵權的實務指引，並輔以真實案例作解說。 **重點議題：** * 是否值得投放資源申請專利？ * 在合作期間保障技術持有人與使用者之權益 * 如何透過預先約定的爭議解決條款，加快糾紛處理？ * 收到侵權通知或被起訴，如何應對？ **立即參與，掌握專利商業化與爭議決的實用策略，加速您的業務發展！** 參加連結：[LINK](https://campaigns.hkpc.org/zh-hk/rsvp-navigating-patent-use-practical-tips-for-licensing-contract-drafting-and-building-an-effective-dispute-resolution-clause)

Sorry I had to reschedule the second game of Everdell. Gather resources to develop a harmonious village of woodland critters and structures. Difficulty: Medium **PLEASE keep an eye on your messages as I may need to message you. You will need to reply within 24 hours or potentially lose your place.** Within the charming valley of Everdell, beneath the boughs of towering trees, among meandering streams and mossy hollows, a civilization of forest critters is thriving and expanding. From Everfrost to Bellsong, many a year have come and gone, but the time has come for new territories to be settled and new cities established. You will be the leader of a group of critters intent on just such a task. There are buildings to construct, lively characters to meet, events to host—you have a busy year ahead of yourself. Will the sun shine brightest on your city before the winter moon rises? Everdell is a game of dynamic tableau building and worker placement. On their turn a player can take one of three actions: a) Place a Worker: Each player has a collection of Worker pieces. These are placed on the board locations, events, and on Destination cards. Workers perform various actions to further the development of a player's tableau: gathering resources, drawing cards, and taking other special actions. b) Play a Card: Each player is building and populating a city; a tableau of up to 15 Construction and Critter cards. There are five types of cards: Travelers, Production, Destination, Governance, and Prosperity. Cards generate resources (twigs, resin, pebbles, and berries), grant abilities, and ultimately score points. The interactions of the cards reveal numerous strategies and a near infinite variety of working cities. c) Prepare for the next Season: Workers are returned to the players supply and new workers are added. The game is played from Winter through to the onset of the following winter, at which point the player with the city with the most points wins. (Description from BoardGameGeek) Price: $100 First-timers, or people I haven't met before, will be asked to confirm their booking. I'll message you with details after your RSVP. **You need to reply within 24 hours to keep your spot.** No outside food is allowed at the venue. It is also a shoes-off venue. No-show and lateness: anyone not showing up, dropping out on the day or late the night before or being late a number of times without good reason may be blacklisted from my future games.

Come for another casual gathering and chat with peers in the software & technology community. Bring your smile and relax with a refreshing drink. **Concept** 🍻 It works simple: 1. feel free to arrive and leave at any time during the event 2. get yourself a drink at the bar or convenience store 3. say hi to someone in the group and chat away. **How to find us?** 👀 Bart/Stephen usually wear something that is easy to spot in a crowd. Often it's a bright coloured t-shirt or something orange themed. Have a look at past photos of meetups to recognise him. Moreover, we usually stand close to the bar. **Venue** 📍 **The Beer Bay** is an **outdoor kiosk/bar**, situated at the walkway between the Central Ferry Piers, at the ground level **entrance of Central Ferry Pier #4** (to Lamma Island). There's plenty of space to stand, and various places to get drinks. Usually lots of people in conversation, and an overall casual and relaxed atmosphere. In summer it can get hot and sweaty, and winter a bit cold, but drinks are refreshing and nothing beats that skyline! **Toilets** 🚻 There is a public toilet at the end of the piers near pier 2, or you could walk to the IFC shopping mall nearby. **Drinks** 🍺🍷🍹🥤 The Beer Bay serves refreshing alcoholic drinks, such as cold drafts, wine and plenty of mixers too. There are also non-alcoholic options from other stands and convenience stores around as well. See you on Friday June 29!

We'll walk five minutes from MTR station to the bus terminus to take 9:25 am No. 11 Bus and get off near Lantau South Police Station. In the morning, we'll swim at Upper Cheung Sha Beach, Lower Cheung Sha Beach, Tong Fuk Beach and have lunch in Tong Fuk Village. We'll spend 30 to 45 minutes at each beach and walk to the next one. If you are a good swimmer. you can swim along the coast, but bring a waterproof bag carrying your stuff while swimming. Then you do not need to go back to take your things. **Important Notes:** * You must bring a floating aid. I suggest using a waterproof bag designed for water sports. You will need to keep all your belongings inside the bag and swim with it. * * We will enter the water from the rocky area (as shown in the first photo of the album). Because of the rocks, it is highly recommended to wear water shoes or rubber-soled shoes (like classic white plimsolls / 白飯魚) to protect your feet \*What to bring: sunscreen, hat ,mosquito repellent, swimming suit, goggles, rubber-soled shoes and floating aids (must) if you are going to swim in the area without lifeguards. **DISCLAIMER** For this swimming trip, every member joining accepts this agreement: By joining the events of “Biking Swimming Camping Fun”, all participants are deemed to have agreed to exonerate the leaders, the organizers and any other participants in the events from any liabilities, claims, including but not limited to liabilities and claims as a result of any injuries or deaths or damages or penalties arising thereof.

Extensions allow developers to customize the editor with new features, integrations, and workflow improvements tailored to their needs. In this session, we’ll cover what extensions are and the different types available, including full extensions written in TypeScript or JavaScript, along with lighter-weight extensions such as color themes, language packs, language support, code snippets, and keymaps. We’ll also look at practical reasons a developer might create an extension, from automating repetitive tasks to adding custom tooling. The session includes a hands-on walkthrough of creating a new extension, testing it locally, and understanding the basic project structure. We’ll close with a brief overview of how extensions are packaged and published to the Visual Studio Marketplace and other distribution options. **YouTube Link** TBD

We meet to learn and practice American Sign Language and to grow our familiarity with Deaf culture. Facilitated by hearing folks (with a connection to a professional interpreter) using Deaf-created content. People of all ASL skill levels are welcome! As we learn, we hope to connect more with the Deaf community in Central Ohio. Join us as you're able! Come regularly or just once - whatever you're looking for! Each meetup will explore different topics related to ASL/Deaf culture, and will feature time to practice conversation with one another. Just bring yourself and a willingness to learn!

Most people still use AI like a search box: type one question, get one answer, repeat. But the next step is AI agents: systems that can take a goal, break it into steps, use tools, remember context, and produce useful work for a human to review. In this beginner-friendly session, we’ll demystify what AI agents actually are — without hype or jargon. We’ll walk through practical examples of how agents can help with research, planning, writing, coding, operations, and personal productivity. We’ll cover: * What makes an AI “agent” instead of just a chatbot * How agents break tasks into steps * Where agents are genuinely useful today * Where they fail, hallucinate, or need human review * How to design simple AI workflows for your own work * A live demo of an AI agent-style workflow from start to finish No coding experience required. This is for anyone who wants to understand where AI tools are going and how to use them more effectively right now. LOGISTICS AND PARKING: The talk starts at 7:00 PM. The first half hour is reserved for everyone to get set up and mingle. Free pizza and drinks! The cheapest parking option is to find street parking, which will only cost you a few bucks. Otherwise, park in the nearby veteran's museum lot for $8. It's highly recommended you avoid the nearby $15 garage parking.
