Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Patent Subject Matter Eligibility: Navigating the New USPTO Guidance -- Analyzing Subject Matter and Avoiding Rejection Under the USPTO's Detailed Framework" on April 16, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Amelia Feulner Baur, Ph.D of McNeill Baur, Leslie McDonell of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner, and Donna M. Meuth, Associate General Counsel for Eisai will examine the new USPTO Interim Guidance and the analysis for determining patent subject matter eligibility, provide best practices for applying the new guidelines in application drafting and prosecution, and provide insight into how the Interim Eligibility Guidance may impact strategies involving owned or in-licensed intellectual property.
