The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Obviousness After Apple v. Samsung" on November 2, 2016 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Robert Asher of Sunstein Kann Murphy & Timbers, Kenneth Corsello of IBM Corp., and Justin Hasford of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP will discuss the likely impact of the Apple v. Samsung case, as well as of the recent Federal Circuit opinion in Arendi v. Apple, where the court overruled the PTAB invalidation of Arendi's patents, stressing that "common sense" critiques of an invention must be supported by substantial evidence and explained with sufficient reasoning. The panel will also draw lessons from the recent PTAB decision Innopharma v. Senju Pharmceutical, where after institution the patentee was able to prove to the PTAB both unexpected technical effects and the nexus between those technical effects and commercial success.
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.
