Overview:

Computer-implemented inventions like software are essential to every company. Thus, developing a comprehensive patent portfolio that will help streamline and secure these assets is vital, especially in a post-pandemic era. However, patenting software remains a challenge as applicants need to meet several specified regulatory standards under the Mayo and Alice framework.

Listen as experienced patent attorney Scott Lloyd (Offit Kurman, Attorneys At Law) provides the audience with an in-depth discussion of the legal standards and critical issues surrounding software patents. He will also offer practical tips and compliance strategies in this ever-changing regulatory landscape.

Some of the major topics that will be covered in this course are:

  • What is a “software patent”?
  • How to define your software-based invention.
  • How to determine subject matter eligibility.
  • Product life cycle vs. patent term.
  • GUI design patents as an alternative to utility patents.
