Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Coordinating Post-Grant Patent Opposition in Europe and the U.S. -- Navigating Timing, Grounds for Opposition, Discovery, and Amendments to Maximize Protection in Both Jurisdictions" on February 26, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST). Michael J. Flibbert and Leythem A. Wall of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will provide patent counsel with guidance for addressing post-grant patent oppositions in both Europe and the U.S., and offer best practices for navigating the two systems to maximize patent protection in both jurisdictions. The webinar will review the following questions:
• What are the grounds for opposing a patent in the U.S. and how do they differ from those in Europe?
• How will the differences relating to discovery and the use of expert testimony impact opposition strategy?
• What strategies should counsel employ to coordinate post-grant patent oppositions in Europe and the U.S.?
