Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "USPTO Post-Grant Proceedings After New Patent Reform Law" on September 28, 2011 from 1:00 - 2:30 PM (EDT). Scott McKeown of Oblon Spivak McClelland Maier & Neustadt and Kevin Laurence of Stoel Rives will provide guidance for counsel to IP owners and inventors on the new America Invents Act's post-grant system, including post-grant review proceedings, special transitional post-grant review of business method patents and supplemental examinations. The webinar will review the following questions:
• What are the grounds for post-grant challenges now?
• How will current reexamination practice change?
• What are the new options, how will they be implemented, and when?
• How do the changes of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act alter the strategic use of post grant proceedings parallel to litigation?
• What are the relevant deadlines and best practices?
An interactive Q&A session will follow the presentation.
The registration fee for the webinar is $297 ($362 for registration and CLE processing). Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
