How to Practice Patent Law After Alice
IPLegalNetwork will present a complimentary webinar designed to provide practical advice for navigating the tumult that has followed the U.S. Supreme Court’s decision in Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank.
The webinar will be Tuesday, Dec. 9, at noon Central time.
On its website, the sponsor says that, if the post-Alice world has made anything clear, it is that some subject matter that previously would have been found patent-eligible is now very unlikely to be issued by the USPTO – and even if claims issue, surviving the scrutiny of a federal court or the Patent Trial and Appeals Board presents a challenge. So what are intellectual property owners to do?
Topics will include:
– How to counsel patent applicants and potential applicants on what is patent-eligible (and what is not)
– Different approaches taken by the examining corps and the PTAB
– Strategies for responding to Section 101 rejections
– Drafting tips for new specifications and claims to improve patent-eligibility arguments
