Overview:
Since its enactment last 2014, the Supreme Court’s Alice decision has continuously raised the bar for patent eligibility. Software innovation went up and it has significantly altered the patentability of software, business methods, and e-commerce technologies. In addition, software patent litigations have also changed dramatically.
With its range, it is expected that the Alice decision will continue to affect software patent eligibility and litigation. While it is currently improbable that the US Supreme Court will supersede its unanimous opinion, Congress has been actively considering legislation to overrule Alice. If passed, however, such legislation will still significantly impact software patent litigation.
In a LIVE Webcast, a seasoned panel of thought leaders and professionals brought together by The Knowledge Group will provide the audience with an in-depth analysis of the recent developments of software patents post-Alice. Speakers will offer an overview of the current implications and status of software patents after Alice. They will also present effective practices and strategies to overcome the general aftermath of the decision as well as what lies ahead of this evolving area of law.

- Software Patents Post-Alice – A Lookback
- Most Notable Changes and Implications
- Current Status of Software Patents after Alice
- Potential Risks, Issues, and Challenges
