The American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) will be offering a three-part webinar series that will further expand upon the forthcoming publication "Patents After the AIA: Evolving Law and Practice" on April 5, April 20, and May 11, 2016.
In part 1 of the series, to be held from 12:30 to 2:00 pm (Eastern) on April 5, 2016, Alan J. Kasper of Sughrue Mion, PLLC, Brad D. Pedersen of Patterson Thuente Pedersen, PA, Gregory D. Allen of 3M Innovative Properties Company, and Brian R. Stanton of Stanton Consulting Services will address some of the more than 350 practice tips from the treatise, and highlight aspects of preparing, filing, and prosecuting applications after the AIA and challenging or defending patents in post-issuance procedures and proceedings.
In part 2 of the series, to be held from 12:30 to 2:00 pm (Eastern) on April 20, 2016, Brad D. Pedersen and Ann M. Mueting of Mueting Raasch & Gebhardt will cover a number of the timeline scenarios discussed in the treatise, which aid in understanding and analyzing the consequences and results of different exemplary fact patterns after the AIA.
In part 3 of the series, to be held from 12:30 to 2:00 pm (Eastern) on May 11, 2016, Brian R. Stanton, Gregory D. Allen, and James Crowne, AIPLA's Deputy Executive Director of Legal Affairs, will provide a high-level review of the USPTO's purpose and process for establishing rules and regulations implementing the AIA, the ability of the public or interested parties to comment on and even challenge them, and the deference afforded to them by the courts. The panel will also touch on the various types of executive and quasi-judicial actions used in governmental administration, and the overlay that must be applied under the Administrative Procedures Act (APA) in effecting such actions, particularly as used by the USPTO.
The registration fee for each webinar is $145 (AIPLA member rate) or $195 (non-member rate). Those interested in registering for any of the webinars, can do so here (part 1), here (part 2), or here (part 3).
