The American Bar Association (ABA) Section of Intellectual Property Law, ABA-IPL Young Lawyers Action Group, Young Lawyers Division, and Center for Professional Development will be offering a live webinar and teleconference entitled "The America Invents Act: The Boundaries of Prior Art" on August 24, 2012 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm (EDT). Janet S. Hendrickson of Senniger Powers LLP will moderate a panel including Steve S. Chang of Banner & Witcoff, Ltd., and Susanne T. Jones of O’Brien Jones PLLC. The panel will provide practical guidance regarding changes in practice in view of the differences in prior art definitions, discuss traps arising from the one year grace period to an inventor's own disclosures that was retained in the Act while providing ways for applicants to avoid these traps, address the areas of uncertainty in the implementation or interpretation of the AIA prior art provisions, and provide guidance for analyzing various courses of action.
