As technologies merge, divisions between industries blur. Advances in biotechnology foreshadow breakthroughs in pharmacology. Industrial machines and medical devices increasingly interface with electronics. Even automotive equipment includes computers and other electronics, optics and, in some cases, telephony. And telephones and other communications products, incorporating cameras and other functions, now face the IP challenges of telecom, optics, electronics and consumer products.
