Over the years, nearly one in every five U.S. patents has been granted to European patentees. This seminar, tailored to European IP practitioners, will offer practical advice on how to prepare for the differences between European and U.S. patent practices. We will cover U.S. prosecution, litigation and transactional matters with an eye toward practical advice. We will also identify potential challenges and how to prepare for them, saving valuable time and costs in the process. Topics to be covered during this seminar are listed below.
