Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Advanced Issues for Patent Claim Construction: Leveraging Recent Court Guidance -- Navigating New Standard of Review, Interplay With Litigation and Choice of Law, and Continuation Application" on July 30, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Thomas L. Irving of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner, Michael A. Oblon of Perkins Coie, and Lauren L. Stevens of Global Patent Group will provide guidance to patent counsel regarding the impact of recent court decisions and the guidance they provide on claim construction, and offer their experiences and practical approaches for addressing claim construction issues. The webinar will review the following questions:
• What guidance can be drawn from recent court decisions for claim construction in district court?
• What can practitioners do during drafting and prosecution when facing different claim construction standards before district courts and PTAB?
• What is the impact of claim construction on choice of law?
• Can the choice of law change when a district court judge construes the claim in such a way that the EFD changes?
• What if patent reform efforts pass requiring PTAB to use a district court's claim construction, if one exists?
The registration fee for the webinar is $297 ($362 for registration and CLE processing). Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
