17th Annual
Advanced Patent Law Institute
Austin, Texas
Nov 1-2, 2012
This year’s Advanced Patent Law Institute
in Austin covers a sophisticated and rich array of prosecution and
litigation topics, as well as the America Invents Act's impact on patent
practice—prosecution strategies around the first-to-file transition,
post-grant strategies after the AIA, and venue transfer and
multi-district litigation tactics. The Institute provides full coverage
of claims drafting strategies, claims construction, current trends at
the ITC, recent decisions in In Re MSTG and other cases involving limitations of privilege, and also features U.S. District Court Judicial Panel with judges from the Eastern and Western Districts of Texas and the Southern District of California.
The
nationally recognized faculty includes senior IP counsel of major
corporations, patent prosecution and litigation experts from around the
nation, U.S. District Court Judges, and leading academics from Stanford
Law School and Mercer University School of Law.
Includes:
Claims Drafting Strategies .75 hr
Recommended
techniques for drafting claims that satisfy 35 U.S.C. Section 112
disclosure requirements and also make it difficult for others to design
around.
Developments in Claim Construction .75 hr
No
major movement or re-invention regarding claim construction is
apparently in the offing, but Markman and its progeny, claim
construction proceedings and appellate review are creating many
exceptions, refinements and fine-tunes that increase exposure to error,
sanctions and problems in general. This discussion tracks these trends,
exposes tricks and traps, and with luck, blazes the trails that lead to
good results.
The Ides of March: Prosecution Strategies After the First-to-File Transition .75 hr
The
America Invents Act established a "first inventor to file" system in
the United States that will be implemented on March 16, 2013. Learn
strategies and considerations for patent application filings in this new
regime.
The America Invents Act and Post-Grant Strategies: Tactics 101 .75 hr
