Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Leveraging Experts for USPTO Prosecution and PTAB -- Developing Strong Patentability Records to Strengthen Claims Against IPR and PGR Challenges" on November 12, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST). Thomas L. Irving of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner; Jonathan R.K. Stroud, Chief Patent Counsel, Unified Patents; and Wen Li, Ph.D. of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will provide guidance for patent counsel on leveraging the use of experts in patent prosecution and at the PTAB to develop and strengthen patentability records, and offer best practices on how and when to use experts in patent prosecution to strengthen claims against inter partes review (IPR) and post-grant review (PGR) challenges. The webinar will review the following questions:
• How can practitioners use experts during prosecution to strengthen the patent application against the threat of post-grant challenges?
• How can practitioners leverage expert declarations in the POPR (Patent Owner Preliminary Response)?
• How can practitioners introduce strong grounds for patentability under §§ 103 and 112 in the prosecution history so that IPRs and PGRs are either denied or ineffective against the challenged claims?
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.
