Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Patents and the Expectation of Success Doctrine -- What is Reasonable, Tension With Enablement, Best Practices for Patent Drafting and Prosecution" on January 31, 2023 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST). David A. Gosse of Fitch Even Tabin & Flannery, Daniel J. Pereira of Oblon McClelland Maier & Neustadt, and Bryan K. Wheelock of Harness Dickey & Pierce will provide patent counsel with guidance on the doctrine of expectation of success, examine how much is reasonably needed and the tension between the doctrine and enablement, discuss recent cases, and offer best practices for patent drafting and patent prosecution. The webinar will review the following issues:
• Under what circumstances should the reasonable expectation of success be argued during prosecution at the PTAB? During litigation?
• What evidence is necessary to support a reasonable expectation of success argument?
• How can patents be drafted to establish that the disclosure enables the claimed subject matter but that skilled persons would not have had a reasonable expectation of success based on the prior art?
The registration fee for the webcast is $347. Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
