McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP will be offering a live webinar entitled "Section 101 Reform: Prospects and Pitfalls" on August 20, 2019 from 10:00 am to 11:15 am (CT). In this presentation, MBHB attorneys and Patent Docs authors Michael S. Borella and Kevin E. Noonan, and MBHB attorney Sarah E. Fendrick will discuss § 101 legislation introduced by Senators Tillis and Coons, and the process, politics, and prospects of meaningful legislative change, and the possible pitfalls in the legislation, from the political horse-trading certain to occur to the likelihood that the Supreme Court will find fault with any attempt to rein in their reconstruction of patent eligibility through judicial fiat. The webinar will address the following:
• The draft amendments to Sections 100, 101, and 112(f)
• The stakeholders positions: biotech, pharma, high tech, academics, "public interest groups"
• Issues solved and raised by the proposed amendments
• Likelihood of passage
While there is no fee to participate, attendees must register in advance. Those wishing to register can do so here. CLE credit is pending for the states of California, Illinois, New Jersey, New York, North Carolina, and Virginia.
