With the United States now operating under a first-to-file system, and with there being no grace period in Europe, time pressures for filing patent applications have never been greater. Sufficiency or enablement is a fundamental requirement for patents in both jurisdictions. The patent application must disclose the claimed invention in sufficient detail for the skilled person to carry out the claimed invention. As well as being novel, the invention must also be inventive or nonobvious over the prior art. Sometimes the best way to demonstrate this is with experimental data, though, in some cases, generating this data can take too long. The challenge facing inventors is how to balance time pressures to file a patent application and getting the content right to satisfy the requirements at the European Patent Office and U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. What and when is enough?
Please join us as we discuss the issues surrounding the steps you need to take from first realization of the invention to filing your patent application. Topics will include:
