Long-Awaited Ruling:  Strategies
for Prosecuting or Challenging Patent Process Claims Going Forward" on
August 11, 2010 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM (EDT).  Erika H. Arner of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett &
Dunner; Leigh J. Martinson of McDermott Will & Emery LLP, Boston; and
Daniel R. Brownstone of Fenwick & West LLP will provide guidance for
counsel and companies concerning the implications of the Supreme Court's recent

–given the continuing lack of clear guidelines for patentability.  The webinar will review the following
questions:

for patent eligibility?
•
What is its anticipated impact for past patent eligibility decisions?
•
What strategies should patent applicants employ to improve the likelihood of a
successful patent application going forward?
