Chadbourne & Parke Signs on as Sponsor of The Bourne Report

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. & NEW YORK --(Business Wire)-- Bourne Research LLC today announced that the international law firm of Chadbourne & Parke LLP has signed on as an underwriting sponsor of The Bourne Report.

The Bourne Report is a ground-breaking radio program that explores the latest in MEMS (micro-electro-mechanical systems) and nanotechnology. The thought-provoking show aims to engage the public and industry about the impact of emerging technologies on our daily lives, and inspire middle-school students about the possibilities of next-generation science, technology and engineering.

Chadbourne, which recently launched a nanotechnologies practice harnessing the Firm's expertise in energy, insurance, private equity, intellectual property, litigation and products liability, is excited to make its foray into educational radio programming.

"With a keen, insightful eye on next-generation science and emerging technologies, The Bourne Report is helping to promote wider public awareness and understanding of high-tech innovation -- the opportunities together with the challenges -- which is absolutely critical to the successful commercialization of such things as nanotechnology-based products and services," said Chadbourne partner David L. Wallace, who leads the firm's nanotechnologies practice.

"It was an easy sell. Marlene Bourne is an innovator, and we've been working seamlessly with innovators for more than a century -- helping clients harness and protect the new technologies of their era to create industries, markets, opportunities, and value where none previously existed," said Mr. Wallace. "We're very pleased and proud to help underwrite innovative programming like The Bourne Report. It's a public service."

Produced and hosted by Marlene Bourne, The Bourne Report is all about next-generation science, cool technologies and real products. From real-life applications today to the far-out possibilities of the future, listeners hear from top scientists and engineers about their most innovative research, get the inside scoop on the coolest products entering the market, stay informed about the social implications of new technologies, learn about fun activities related to science and engineering, and are encouraged to take part in the listener's challenge.

The Bourne Report airs Sunday afternoons on Independent 1310 KXAM in Phoenix, and streams live on the Internet to listeners across the United States and around the world. An archive of each weekly program (along with a companion five-minute podcast), is available on the show's website (www.bournereport.com) as well as iTunes and other RSS feed aggregators.

Chadbourne & Parke, which joins existing sponsor The MEMS Industry Group, will be recognized during the broadcast, in addition to receiving both commercial time and category exclusivity. Sponsorship is limited to just four companies; for more details about becoming a sponsor of The Bourne Report, please contact Bourne Research.
