Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Patent Eligibility, Duty to Disclose and More: USPTO Manual of Patent Examining Procedure New Guidance" on April 26, 2018 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Thomas L. Irving, Adriana L. Burgy, and John M. Mulcahy of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will examine the latest revisions to the USPTO Manual of Patent Examining Procedure (MPEP), including a discussion of patent eligibility, duty to disclose, and other changes to the MPEP, and explore the impact on patent prosecution and provide best practices for applying the new guidance. The webinar will review the following issues:
• How will examiners apply the revised MPEP?
• How can patent counsel use the revised MPEP to bolster their arguments when patents are being examined?
• How does the USPTO's disclosure standard differ from the courts' position?
