Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference
entitled "Patents and the Written Description Requirement: Navigating
Section 112 Disclosure Obligations and Withstanding Invalidity Challenges"
on November 27, 2012 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm (EST).
Thomas L. Irving of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will
provide guidance for dealing with the U.S. Patent Law Section 112's written
description requirement, and discuss the lessons learned since the Federal
Circuit's opinion in Ariad v. Eli Lilly for compliance and patent
challenges. The webinar will review the
following questions:
• How
is the Ariad decision being applied by the courts -- and what has its
impact been on patent prosecutions?
•
What are the implications of Ariad for the predictable and
non-predictable arts?
•
What steps can counsel for patentees take to meet the written description
requirement and withstand invalidity challenges based on the written
description?
The
registration fee for the webinar is $297 ($362 for registration and CLE processing). Those registering by November 2, 2012 will
receive a $50 discount. Those interested
