He said Lederman "could open doors and expedite our Israeli business development." "The Israel IP bar is relatively small and Robyn knew just about everyone;' he said. Lederman's Israeli clients are developers, manufacturers and providers in the fields of ultra- sound machines for body contour- ing; teleconferencing; crop protec- tion; and networking. Cantor Colburn has tapped into Israel's resurgence in patent and trademark prosecution in such fields as agrichemical, medical devices, life sciences and alterna- tive energy. Israel is where VoIP (voice over Internet) first achieved commercial application. Israeli scientific breakthroughs include new drugs for Alzheimer's, mul- tiple sclerosis, diabetes, influenza and acne; enhanced cancer fight- ing; and stem cell research. Israeli companies seeking pat- ent and technology protection are busy developing: drones that can fly for two days nonstop; micro- drones that fit in a backpack; a Global Positioning System for the human body; kosher cell phones; a way to extract oil from sludge; a robot to navigate our arteries. Lederman will chair the kick- off event of the Michigan Israel Business Bridge in September. Lederman said her three kids love being near their cousins, aunts and uncles here in Detroit. "The second we landed in Michigan:' she said, "it was as if they never lived anywhere else." Still, the family stays in touch with relatives and friends in Israel. And it supports the Michigan Friends of the Israel Defense Forces. "The return to Michigan has been good for my family;' Lederman said.
