Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Proving and Avoiding Inequitable Conduct in Patent Prosecution and Litigation -- Leveraging Court Treatment Post-Therasense and the AIA's Answer to Inequitable Conduct Issues" on January 31, 2017 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST). Thomas L. Irving and Amanda K. Murphy, Ph.D., of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner, and Margaret J. Sampson of Baker Botts will provide guidance to patent counsel on understanding the types of activity that may lead to a finding of inequitable conduct and practical tactics to reduce the risk of a finding of inequitable content in litigation, and also examine arguments that have worked to avoid a finding of inequitable conduct and those that haven't. The webinar will review the following issues:
• What are the most common assertions defendants make when raising the inequitable conduct defense?
• What are best practices prosecutors and litigators should employ when pursuing and defending inequitable conduct allegations?
• What guidance do post-Therasense decisions and the USPTO proposed rules provide on how inequitable conduct will be treated?
The registration fee for the webinar is $297. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
