In this episode of The New CISO, Steve is joined by Bryan Willett, CSO at Lexmark International, Inc, to highlight the importance of collaboration and team building. With over two decades of experience, Bryan understands the CISO role and how to support your team. With this in mind, he shares what CISOs can do once they achieve this status to develop their skills further. Listen to the episode to learn more about transitioning into management, sharing your knowledge, and the benefits of diversity. Listen to Steve and  Bryan discuss how to build a diverse security team and the skills needed to be a better CISO: Meet Bryan (1:50) Host Steve Moore introduces our guest today, Bryan Willett. Bryan has worked at Lexmark for over 25 years and prioritizes minimizing risk for the business. With a unique scope of duties, Bryan has worked his way up the ranks and monitors security trends, such as supply chain measures. Ultimately, he understands the importance of collaboration to keep all company areas safe.  The Road Travelled (5:37) Beginning his career in firmware development, Bryan wanted to transition into a position where he could learn more about the product development pipeline and work with people. He then went down the product management track, which set him up for the leadership side of the field.  The Best PM (10:27) When asked about his stepping stone from product manager to manager, Bryan reflects on what motivates him to work hard and improve the team around him.  Feeling Intimidated (13:00) Steve presses Bryan on how intimidation and imposter syndrome impacts career goals. Bryan shares that he's primarily looking for team members who are jacks of all trades and that he believes having a diverse set of knowledge will set you up for success. With multiple skills, you will be able to work well in the security field, even if it's initially uncomfortable.  Developing as a CISO (16:26) Bryan shares what CISOs can do in their position to develop further. Once getting into a management position, you should always support your team and prepare them for their subsequent roles.  Improving as a Salesperson (24:02) As you pitch executive leadership on programs you want to implement, make sure you can explain what you need simply, without technical jargon, to convey the key points you are trying to make. Crafting a clear elevator pitch will help you make the sale. Solving Business Problems (31:18) Early in Bryan's career, Lexmark was experiencing challenges due to the nature of the printing industry. Noticing that the company could experience a certain level of risk, Bryan built a highly capable team to harden the system and create a security development lifecycle for both the company and the customers.  Third-Party Risk Management (38:16) When Bryan started his third-party risk management program at Lexmark, he had to partner with the procurement and legal team. Due to experience with other aspects of the business, Bryan was well-prepared to oversee this endeavor and communicate with others about their needs. Business Savvy (42:07) Steve presses Bryan on the future of CISOs. Considering the CISO today, Bryan understands they likely worked their way up in the security field. However, Bryan recognizes that this field will mature as we uncover new risks, and the CISO role will change with it. Bryan predicts that future CISOs will have the immense business knowledge needed to keep the company moving and make necessary trade-offs. The New CISO (45:47) To Bryan, being a new CISO means focusing on diversity in the workplace by hiring individuals different than you. It's essential to understand your weaknesses and fill in the gaps with other talented security professionals who can make your team complete.  Links mentioned: https://www.lexmark.com/en_us/about/company.html (Lexmark)

Everybody agrees that we can all take an inspiration or two from the Marine Corps when it comes to leadership. It’s not just because of the highly disciplined and regimented way of doing things that we generally associate with military life. Most importantly, it teaches us that “leaders eat last” – that concept of servant leadership that puts emphasis on supporting each member of the team and setting them up to succeed. Retiring as a Marine Corps Major after honorably serving the country for 24 years, Chris Lovell took the skills that he acquired from the military to take various leadership roles at Amazon, Lexmark International and the Defense Logistics Agency, and now, in his own federal-level medical supplies company, Lovell Government Services. In this conversation with Alicia Couri, he shares the most important leadership lessons that he learned during his years in the Marines and how he applies them every day as a company leader.

As is the case with many finance leader resumes, Cort Townsend’s reveals a repetition of professional advancement and achievement that allows casual readers to quickly validate his CFO credentials. However, like those of many, Townsend self-tale is only a shorthand rendering of a career path filled with twists, turns, and high-stakes industry drama. Such was the case in 2015 and 2016, a period in Townsend’s career annals with enough M&A high jinks and boardroom intrigue to fill an entire volume. Subsequently, though, in July 2017, Townsend landed neatly inside the CFO office of Kofax via an appointment that casual readers of his resume might have assumed was the natural next step for a dedicated senior executive who had already served as the firm’s controller and vice president of finance. So, where was all the drama? Lost between the lines of Townsend’s resume was the acquisition of Kofax by Lexmark International in 2015 and the subsequent acquisition of Lexmark by Apex Technology in 2016. Along the way, Townsend was named finance chief of Lexmark’s enterprise software group, which turned out to be an abbreviated tour of duty that made him the obvious choice for a C-suite posting when Lexmark opted to spin off the software group in late 2016 and later sell it to private equity firm Thoma Bravo. The sale of the group would be completed in July 2017, the very month in which Townsend was appointed CFO of newly branded Kofax. Witness just the type of swift-moving, complex narrative that allows even detail-oriented leaders like Townsend to much appreciate the virtues of a shorthand bio. –Jack Sweeney   Do you want to learn more about the experiences that shaped today’s finance leaders?

On May 30, 2017, the Supreme Court decided Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc. Lexmark International, Inc. (Lexmark), which owns many patents for its printer toner cartridges, allows customers to buy its cartridges through a “Return Program,” which is administered under a combination single-use patent and contract license. Customers purchasing cartridges through the Return Program are given a discount in exchange for agreeing to use each cartridge once before returning it to Lexmark. All of the domestically-sold cartridges at issue here and some of those sold abroad were subject to the Return Program. Impression Products, Inc. (Impression) acquired some Lexmark cartridges abroad--after a third party physically changed the cartridges to enable their re-use--in order to resell them in the United States. Lexmark then sued, alleging that Impression had infringed on Lexmark’s patents because Impression acted without authorization from Lexmark to resell and reuse the cartridges. Impression contended that its resale of the cartridges was not an infringement because Lexmark, in transferring the title by selling the cartridges initially, granted the requisite authority. The district court granted Impression’s motion to dismiss as it related to the domestically sold cartridges but denied it as to the foreign-sold cartridges. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the district court’s judgment as to the domestically sold cartridges but affirmed dismissal regarding the cartridges sold abroad. -- There were two questions before the Supreme Court: (1) whether a “conditional sale” that transfers title to the patented item while specifying post-sale restrictions on the article's use or resale avoids application of the patent-exhaustion doctrine and therefore permits the enforcement of such post-sale restrictions through the patent law’s infringement remedy; and (2) whether, in light of this court’s holding in Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. that the common-law doctrine barring restraints on alienation that is the basis of exhaustion doctrine “makes no geographical distinctions,” a sale of a patented article – authorized by the U.S. patentee – that takes place outside the United States exhausts the U.S. patent rights in that article. -- By a vote of 7-1, the Supreme Court reversed the judgment of the Federal Circuit and remanded the case. In an opinion by Chief Justice Roberts, the Court held that (1) Lexmark exhausted its patent rights in toner cartridges sold in the United States through its "Return Program"; and (2) Lexmark cannot sue Impression Products for patent infringement with respect to cartridges Lexmark sold abroad, which Impression Products acquired from purchasers and imported into the United States, because an authorized sale outside the United States, just as one within the United States, exhausts all rights under the Patent Act. The Chief Justice’s majority opinion was joined by Justices Kennedy, Thomas, Breyer, Alito, Sotomayor, and Kagan. Justice Ginsburg filed an opinion concurring in part and dissenting in part. Justice Gorsuch took no part in the consideration or decision of the case. -- And now, to discuss the case, we have Adam Mossoff, who is Professor of Law and Co-Director of Academic Programs and Senior Scholar of CPIP, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University.

A new Blockchain Art exhibit opened on May 20 and ends on June 25 in London at Furtherfield Gallery - called "New World Order." The Furtherfield website says: "Imagine a world in which responsibility for many aspects of life (reproduction, decision-making, organisation, nurture, stewardship) are mechanised and automated. Transferred, once and for all, from natural and social systems into a secure, networked, digital ledger of transactions and computer-executed contracts. The artworks in this exhibition envision future world-making by machines, markets and natural processes, free from interference by states and other human institutions." http://www.furtherfield.org/programmes/exhibition/new-world-order 2. There is an exhibit at a co-working space called La Compagnie in Paris, France where the artists have agreed to only accept ether (ranging from 10 - 50 ether) as payment for their work. According to the organizer, Christopher Pouilly, this is the first time that there has been an exhibit where ether is the currency. Loosely translated, he says, "Ether is making its real world appearance in the form of acquiring works of art."

DJPEPE - www.rarepepedirectory.com 5. On May 30, 2017, the Supreme Court decided the Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc. case regarding whether companies or customers are infringing on patent protected cartridges when these same cartridges are refilled without permission. This is an important decision because it limits a patent holder's right to sue someone for patent infringement if someone re-uses a purchased cartridge. The case examines the concept of "patent exhaustion" which is similar to the copyright first sale doctrine where the rights owner gives up certain rights in relation to a particular item that a consumer has purchased. https://www.engadget.com/2017/05/30/supreme-court-decision-lifts-ownership-rights-over-patent-law/ Links for Matthew Monte: http://www.wiley.com/WileyCDA/WileyTitle/productCd-1118987128.html http://www.goodreads.com/author/show/14160735.Matthew_Monte Link to Willie Waze on twitter: @DaYunginWaze or search spotify, Apple music and more for "Willie Waze."

On March 21, 2017, the Supreme Court heard oral argument in Impression Products, Inc. v. Lexmark International, Inc. Lexmark International, Inc. (Lexmark), which owns many patents for its printer toner cartridges, allows customers to buy its cartridges through a “Return Program,” which is administered under a combination single-use patent and contract license.

Olson, who is Associate Professor of Law at Boston College Law School.

May a patent owner use contracts to prohibit any resale or reuse of its patented products beyond the initial purchaser? OnTuesday, March 21, 2017, the Supreme Court will hear oral argument in Impression Products v. Lexmark International, which raises this important question. -- Lexmark makes patented toner cartridges and sells them with a contract restriction that the cartridges not be resold or refilled. Impression Products buys used Lexmark toner cartridges, refills, and resells them. Lexmark argues that because the license accompanying the original sale of the cartridges prohibits transferring the cartridges, any reuse and refilling of the cartridges is an unauthorized use and thus a patent infringement. If Lexmark’s argument wins, then manufacturers of patented goods will be able to restrict downstream uses of their goods by use of licenses, and no privity of contract will be required to hold third parties liable. On the other hand, defendant Impression Products argues that the “patent exhaustion” doctrine should operate here to restrict Lexmark from asserting any patent rights after a first, authorized sale. Also at issue is whether first sales in foreign countries instead of the U.S. should affect the outcome. -- The case will have significant effects on the ability of patent owners to control the downstream uses of their patented products, and may affect the ability of patent owners to prevent the importation of “grey market” goods that have been lawfully sold in other countries, similarly to the Supreme Court’s holding in the 2013 copyright case of Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. -- Professor David Olson of Boston College Law School offered impressions and predictions after the Court heard oral argument. -- Featuring: Prof. David S. Olson, Associate Professor, Boston College Law School.

The Federalist Society will host a teleforum discussion of Impression Products v. Lexmark International, which is scheduled for argument before the Supreme Court March 21, 2017. At issue in the case is whether a patent owner may use a combination of patent rights and contract law to restrict what purchasers of patented printer toner cartridges may do with the cartridges. Lexmark makes patented toner cartridges and sells them with a restriction that the cartridges not be resold or refilled. Impression Products buys used Lexmark toner cartridges, refills, and resells them. Lexmark argues that Impression Products’ toner refilling activities violate Lexmark’s patent rights because the license to use the patented product that was given to consumers prohibited refilling, thus putting such use and resale of the patented products outside of the scope of the patent license, in violation of Lexmark’s patent rights. For its part, Impression Products argues that the “patent exhaustion” doctrine should operate here to restrict Lexmark from asserting any patent rights after a first, authorized sale. Also at issue is whether first sales in foreign countries instead of the U.S. should affect the outcome. -- The case will have significant effects on the ability of patent owners to control the downstream uses of their patented products, and may affect the ability of patent owners to prevent the importation of “grey market” goods that have been lawfully sold in other countries, similarly to the Supreme Court’s holding in the 2013 copyright case of Kirtsaeng v. John Wiley & Sons, Inc. -- Featuring: -- Prof. Adam Mossoff, Co-Founder, Director of Academic Programs & Senior Scholar, Center for the Protection of Intellectual Property; Professor, Antonin Scalia Law School, George Mason University; Prof. David Olson, Associate Professor, Boston College Law School; and Mr. Steven Tepp, President & CEO of Sentinel Worldwide; Professorial Lecturer in Law, George Washington University Law School.

Global Product Management Talk is pleased to bring you the next episode of... The Everyday Innovator with host Chad McAllister, PhD. The podcast is all about helping people involved in innovation and managing products become more successful, grow their careers, and STANDOUT from their peers. About the Episode: We have seen significant increases in large companies creating some type of innovation lab or starting a partnership with an innovation lab. One benefit is that the innovation lab can run at a different pace than the organization. The lab has more freedom to try quick experiments and explore new areas that may be deemed too risky for the large organization. One lab that caught my attention when I first learned of it a few years ago was FirstBuild, which describes itself as the “place where ideas come to life.” FirstBuild is a creation of GE Appliances. They have created an open community with access to world-class engineering and design talent for exploring ideas and creating home appliances. I plan to visit FirstBuild in a few months to learn more, but for now, I spoke with Taylor Dawson, their Product Evangelist. Taylor’s background is in mechanical design engineering, having spent time at Lexmark International and then GE Appliances. In our discussion, you will learn: Why FirstBuild was created and how it helps GE,How they identify product ideas and potential market segments,Why they use crowdfunding platforms like Indiegogo, andWhy a prototype is worth a thousand meetings.

News Items Lexington, Kentucky-based Lexmark International, a manufacturer of laser printers and enterprise software serving a variety of industries, including retailers and sign manufacturers, announces that its acquisition by a consortium of investors. The investors were led by China-based Apex Technology Co. Ltd., which designs, manufactures, and markets inkjet and laserjet cartridge chips for remanufacturers and distributors; and PAG Asia Capital, an investment management firm. Legend Capital, which is also based in China, is part of the consortium also. The transaction was approved by Lexmark shareholders and had to receive regulatory approval from the U.S., China and certain other foreign jurisdictions. Lexmark's headquarters will continue to be in Lexington. Amazon is among the suitors for bankrupt retailer American Apparel, Reuters reports, a deal that would represent "a major push for the e-commerce company into branded fashion and apparel" after it "quietly" launched at least seven private label fashion brands last year. Any bankruptcy court bid would have to exceed $66 million, and other companies Reuters says are in the hunt include Forever 21, Next Level Apparel and Authentic Brands.  Shout out to David of Tee-rific Graphics - www.ourcustomtshirts.com 10 Things We Would Like to See in the Industry 1) Aaron: I think I'll jump right in with a pretty forward though and just get us started. I think as an industry we are getting better at cooperating a little bit, but there are still too many “old school” mind sets out there that feel like they have this great info they need to keep under wraps because if they let it out someone will steal it. Well the real fear is that if they let it out someone will do it better. Well guess what the information is out there. There is very little new other than the way we do things, the way we treat our customers and our stakeholders. 2) Terry: I'm doing a DAX Seminar called Sportswear Garage, where I talk about starting either a screen printing or direct-to-garment business from your home. I think it would be great if a company offered a professional startup kit. In the past, most of these “be a garment decorator in a box” offers consisted of higher than normal pricing and lower than normal quality of equipment and supplies. I'd like to see a true professional package including garment and supply sources and “here's how you do it right” instruction as well. 3) Aaron: In looking at last year's notes and listening to the show, I was shocked that I didn't talk about 3D sublimation. I'm hopeful this is the year. I think it was close last year, but some, unfortunately, missteps and a few political things might have slowed it down a year or 2. Right now I see technotape as the leading candidate w...

The final Showcase panel examines Justice Scalia's transformation of five very important areas of Supreme Court doctrine. First, Justice Scalia transformed freedom of expression doctrine by entrenching a rule of viewpoint neutrality in place of different tests for different kinds of speech. In the five to four flag burning cases, Justice Scalia teamed up with Justices Brennan and Marshall to protect political speech. In the five to four decision in Citizens United he did the same thing with a different block of Justices. In another five to four opinion, Justice Scalia recognized constitutional protection for hate speech in RAV v. City of St. Paul. He joined a summary affirmance of a Seventh Circuit opinion by Judge Frank Easterbrook banning Catherine MacKinnon's anti-pornography laws. Second, Justice Scalia revolutionized the law of the religion clauses by largely burying the Lemon test and leading the Supreme Court in affirming the constitutionality of education vouchers for religious schools. Third, Justice Scalia revolutionized the Second Amendment by finding that it protected an individual's right to bear arms to defend himself, and he was very libertarian and protective of criminal defendants' rights in his criminal procedure jurisprudence. Fourth, Justice Scalia surprised some observers with his criminal law and procedure opinions on searches, the Confrontation Clause, and more. Finally, Justice Scalia played what some describe as a unique role in standing, including in his opinion in Lexmark International, Inc. v. Static Control Components, Inc. -- This panel was held on November 19, 2016, during the 2016 National Lawyers Convention in Washington, DC. -- Featuring: Mr. Floyd Abrams, Partner, Cahill Gordon & Reindel LLP; Hon.
