Practising Law Institute (PLI) will be offering a one-hour webcast on "Leveraging Active Voice in Patent Claims" on February 4, 2020 beginning at 1:00 pm (EST). Jason M. Perilla of Thomas | Horstemeyer, LLP will introduce and explore the use of active voice in drafting patent claims and discuss:
• How to organize and prioritize the important aspects of an invention before drafting patent claims;
• How to identify the "actors" of an invention, particularly in the context of computer-environment-related inventions;
• Avoiding the use of "wherein" clauses and other claim limitations that are unhinged from a particular actor and, perhaps, the invention itself; and
• Leveraging active voice to help avoid "abstract idea" rejections under § 101.
The registration fee for this webcast is $299. Those interested in registering for the webcast, can do so here.
