Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Patent Prosecution: Leveraging Declarations to Strengthen Patents Against Post-Grant Proceedings" on May 12, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Thomas L. Irving, Deborah M. Herzfeld, and Jonathan R.K. Stroud of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will provide guidance to patent counsel for preparing and submitting declarations during prosecution of U.S. patent applications to support the desired claim interpretation, non-obviousness and § 112 positions. The webinar will review the following questions:
• How can practitioners prepare and submit declarations during prosecution to strengthen the application against the threat and/or efficacy of a third-party’s post-grant challenges?
• What can patent owners do to try and obtain the desired claim construction in both litigation and post-grant proceedings?
• How can practitioners introduce strong grounds for patentability under §§ 102, 103 and 112 in the specification and prosecution history so that IPRs and PGRs are either denied or otherwise ineffective against the challenged instituted claims?
The registration fee for the webinar is $297 ($362 for registration and CLE processing). Those registering by April 17, 2015 will receive a $50 discount. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
