The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "The Role of Facts in Patent Eligibility: Analysis and Strategy" on April 12, 2018 from 3:00 to 4:00 pm (ET). Calvin Griffith of Jones Day, Daryl Joseffer of King & Spalding, and Corey Salsberg of Novartis will discuss a trio of patentee-friendly Federal Circuit opinions -- Berkheimer, Aatrix, and Exergen –- that together can help preclude the early dismissal of suits and the grant of summary judgment motions on patent eligibility grounds on the basis that there are factual disputes that underlie the determination of patent eligibility under § 101. The panel will discuss:
• How to best leverage these decisions to your advantage.
• What you need to know about how to handle issues that could arise on appeal.
• Who is likely to decide patent eligibility issues going forward, using what evidence, and at what stage of litigation?
• What model will prevail: Making the factual decision at trial or a Markman hearing-type model disposing of patent eligibility before trial?
• How does the analogy to obviousness determinations hold up?
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.
