The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Alice v. CLS Bank: How Far Has the Needle Moved?" on July 15, 2014 beginning at 2:00 pm (ET). A panel consisting of Scott Bornstein of Greenberg Traurig LLP, Michael Chernoff of MDB Capital Group LLC, and Robert Sachs of Fenwick & West LLP will address the following questions:
• How much will Alice impact patent applications at the USPTO, Covered Business Method post-grant proceedings at the PTAB, and invalidity arguments in district court?
• What kinds of applications and patents are most vulnerable?
• What will the USPTO, district courts, and the Federal Circuit do with the vague tests articulated by Alice regarding "abstract ideas" and "inventive concept"?
• What can patent owners and applicants who are at risk do to shore up their IP protection?
The registration fee for the webinar is $130 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
