Webinar
The requirements for inventive step in Europe and non-obviousness in the U.S. have many similarities but also some subtle differences. In most cases, you might expect similar results, but you can end up with very different outcomes. With global patenting strategies, companies often struggle to ensure consistency when prosecuting applications to grant in both jurisdictions.
In this webinar, we shall look closely at obviousness at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), inventive step at the European Patent Office (EPO), how they are both assessed and how objections can be overcome. This panel will explore what works for combating objections at one of these patent offices and why it may not necessarily work at the other, strategies that can work for both, as well as additional approaches to consider in both jurisdictions.
Please join us for this detailed analysis and discussion of these two giants of patent prosecution. Discussion topics will include:
