McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP will be offering a live webinar entitled "The PTAB Front and Center at the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court: The First Year of Appellate Review" on May 18, 2016 from 10:00 am to 11:15 am (CDT). In this presentation, Patent Docs author and MBHB attorney Andrew Williams, Ph.D. and MBHB attorney James Lovsin will provide:
• A review of the PTAB cases in which the Federal Circuit has vacated and remanded in order to determine best practices for appealing an adverse final written decision;
• A look at the application of the "Broadest Reasonable Interpretation" standard for claim construction, and whether it is really that different from the "Plain and Ordinary Meaning" standard used by District Courts;
• A discussion of the Federal Circuit's refusal to consider issues related to a decision to institute post-grant review proceedings, and whether it is consistent with the statute; and
• An analysis of the arguments presented to the Supreme Court in the Cuozzo case, and a prediction of the outcome based on the oral hearing.
While there is no fee to participate, attendees must register in advance. Those wishing to register can do so here. CLE credit is pending for the states of California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.
