FOR 2010
Promoted programming at LESI events including workshops, trade fairs, receptions and networking dinners as appropriate at
At the 2010 LESI Annual Meeting in South Africa we presented six workshops, including licensing opportunities in clean energy and licensing opportunities in metals mining and refining, and export controls.
These informative workshops raised the visibility of our committee.
 At the LES USA/Canada 2010 Annual Meeting we sponsored two workshops and a mini-plenary.

FOR 2010 (cont’d)
We also surveyed our members as part of the Royalty Rate Survey being conducted by the Chemicals, Energy, Environment and Materials Sector of LES USA/Canada. By this joint effort our committees are internationalizing the LES USA/Canada CEEM Sector Royalty Rate Survey.

We worked to increase interaction with LES Brazil

8. FOR 2011
For the 2011 London LESI Annual Meeting, to keep up with industry trends and licensing opportunities in energy and conservation we are presenting a workshop. Workshop title: Intellectual Properties and Licensing in the Emerging Nations:  Cheaper, Faster, and Smarter.
 We originally jointly proposed a workshop on energy storage technology with IUGT but now IUGT helpfully agreed to sponsor it alone. Workshop title: Collaborate and Innovate in Green Technology: Tackling Challenges in Energy Storage.
We also proposed a plenary session for London.
We hope to propose at least one workshop or the LES USA/Canada 2011 Annual Meeting in San Diego and 2012 LESI Annual Meeting in New Zealand. 

9. We would also have to decide how to split the cost to add the data.
FOR 2011 (cont’d)
LES Brazil championed by Eduardo de Mello e Souza has researched license terms in actual Brazilian technology licenses available from Brazilian public records.
We propose to explore adding some or all of these data points to the CEEM Royalty Rate Survey. This will require money.
If there is interest I request permission to contact David Leathers of LES USA/Canada to see if this can be done and to get a price quote.
We would also have to decide how to split the cost to add the data.
