USPTO Patent Quality Chat Webinar Series

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office will be offering the next webinar in its Patent Quality Chat webinar series from 12:00 to 1:00 pm (ET) on September 13, 2016.  In the latest webinar, which will provide a discussion on "Future Information Disclosure Practice in a Global Dossier Environment," the Office will explore whether to leverage electronic resources (e.g., Global Dossier and USPTO internal databases) to automatically import relevant information into pending U.S. applications from sources such as domestic parent and counterpart foreign applications.  The webinar will also consider the potential benefits from the perspectives of examiners and applicants.

Instructions for viewing the webinar can be found here.  Additional information regarding the Patent Quality Chat webinar series can be found on the USPTO's Patent Quality Chat webpage.
