Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Using Broadest Reasonable Interpretation to Your Advantage in Patent Prosecution -- Establishing Scope of Claims, Avoiding Sect. 112(f), Preserving Enforceability" on September 27, 2018 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Christopher Francis and Daniel Hegner of Bejin Bieneman will guide patent prosecution under the broadest reasonable interpretation (BRI) standard. The panel will provide practical lessons for using BRI to your advantage in prosecution by examining recent Federal Circuit and USPTO's Patent Trial and Appeal Board decisions. The webinar will review the following issues:
• What guidance do Federal Circuit and PTAB decisions give patent counsel on the application of BRI?
• What arguments are useful in overcoming patent examiners’ unreasonable claim interpretations?
• Why is defining claim terms in the specification and using the definitions critical?
• How can patent counsel distinguish cases where extrinsic evidence has been used to supplement the specification? If and when should extrinsic evidence be used?
The registration fee for the webcast is $297. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
