The American Bar
Association (ABA) Section of Intellectual Property Law, Section of Science and
Technology Law, and Center for Professional Development will be offering a live
webinar and teleconference entitled "Single Claim Restriction
Requirements: The Interplay Between 35 USC § 112 and 35 USC § 121" on
October 2, 2012 from 12:00 - 1:30 pm (Eastern).
Dr. Keisha Hylton-Rodić of Drinker Biddle & Reath LLP will moderate
a panel including Thomas L. Irving of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett
& Dunner, LLP and Dr. Orlando Lopez of Burns & Levinson LLP. The panel will examine the balance between 35
USC § 112 and 35 USC § 121, and their interplay in the context of single claim
restriction requirements, as exemplified in Ex
Parte Degrado, and address the tactics that can be used during prosecution
to avoid the pitfall of single claim restrictions in chemical and biotech cases
in contravention of current case law on the practice.
The registration fee for the webcast is $95 for members of any of the sections sponsoring the webinar, $99 for government attorneys, $150 for ABA members, and $195 for the general public. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here or by calling 800-285-2221.
