How to win venture-capital financing
Article Abstract:
Early-stage companies seeking venture-capital financing must be prepared to work extremely hard to convince venture capitalists that they represent a viable investment. Venture investors are currently particularly attracted to companies showing the potential to produce products or services, revenues and earnings in the near term. It is important to seek advice from people with business experience, and to be aware that it is generally not worthwhile sending an unsolicited business plan to a venture investment company.

Process patent bill on track
Article Abstract:
The US Senate approved the Biotechnology Patent Protection Act, sending it to the House of Representatives. The bill would give US biotechnology inventions more protection and level the field between the US and Europe and Japan. One part would protect processes distinguished only by a novel starting material, while another would deny foreign countries permission to ship to the US biotechnology products using components patented there.
