The Federal Circuit Bar Association (FCBA) will be offering a webcast entitled "Will the Supreme Court Step in Again in Helsinn v. Teva? Does a Sale of Confidential Materials Trigger the On-Sale Bar?" on May 10, 2018 from 3:00 pm to 4:00 pm (EST). Mark Freeman, Appellate Staff, Civil Division, U.S. Department of Justice will moderate a panel consisting of Joe Matal of the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, Amy Saharia of Williams & Connolly LLP, and Dmitry Karshtedt of the George Washington University School of Law. The panel will discuss the prospects for Supreme Court review in Helsinn v. Teva, in which the Federal Circuit construed the amended on-sale bar of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act, determining that Congress did not alter the scope of the bar, and the ramifications of each possible outcome for future users of the first-to-file patent system.
The webinar is complimentary for FCBA members and $50 (government/academic/retired) or $125 (private practitioner) for non-members. Those interested in registering for the webcast, can do so here.
