Strafford
will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Conflicts in Patent Prosecution: Avoiding the
Ethical Pitfalls Minimizing Risks of Malpractice Liability and Ethics Sanctions"
on September 18, 2013 from 1:00 - 2:30 pm (EDT). Stephen T. Schreiner of Goodwin Procter will
provide guidance to IP counsel on the conflicts issues that often arise in
patent prosecutions, and outline best practices to identify and address the
risks -- and to minimize conflicts that can lead to malpractice liability and
ethical violations. The webinar will
review the following questions:
•
What policies and practices should counsel have in place to identify potential
conflicts in patent prosecutions?
•
What steps can patent prosecutors take to minimize the risk of subject matter
conflicts?
•
How should patent counsel respond after identifying conflicts?
The

processing). Those registering by August
23, 2013 will receive a $50 discount.
