Overview:

Yearly regulatory updates from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) constantly shape the post-grant patent trials landscape. This year’s proposed guidelines entail amendments on the rules surrounding standard practices in post-grant review (PGR), inter partes review (IPR), and covered business method (CBM).

With these significant changes, it is imperative for patent owners, applicants, and litigators to re-evaluate their previously established strategies and devise new ones to ensure compliance.

Listen as a panel of distinguished professionals organized by The Knowledge Group provide the audience with the regulatory updates and developments in post-grant patent proceedings. Speakers, among other things, will offer helpful tips and strategies to mitigate damages and avoid patent infringement cases.

In a LIVE Webcast, the speakers will discuss:

  • Proposed Regulatory Updates and Guidelines from USPTO
  • Implication to Post-Grant Trial Procedures
  • Significant Risks and Pitfalls
  • Best Litigation Practices and Strategies
  • Outlook
