The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Life Science and Section 101: USPTO New Examiner Guidelines" on May 25, 2016 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Raul Tamayo of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Courtenay Brinckerhoff of Foley & Lardner, and Kevin Noonan of McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP will probe deeply into the new examples published by the USPTO this month that show how claims for life science inventions should be examined by the agency for subject-matter patent eligibility. The panel will also crystallize the examples into "dos and don'ts" for patent prosecutors in life science matters relating to Subject 101, and discuss pending litigation and how the guidelines will have to change if the U.S. Supreme Court denies certiorari in the Sequenom case.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
