Webinar
In the landmark case Bilski v. Kappos, the U.S. Supreme Court addressed the most fundamental question in patent law: What is patentable? Although the Court broadly interpreted the scope of patentable subject matter under Section 101 of the U.S. Patent Act, it refrained from articulating a test for patent eligibility and specifically refused to adopt any “categorical rules that might have wide-ranging and unforeseen impacts.” Instead, the Court encouraged lower courts to develop more guidance through future cases. Nearly one year later, we now have several post-Bilski decisions.
This webinar will examine how the Federal Circuit and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) have applied Bilski. In particular, our speakers will address:
- What guidance do the recent decisions from the Federal Circuit provide?
- How has the USPTO applied Bilski?
- The current role of the “machine-or-transformation” test
- The impact of Bilski on life sciences, including an update on the Myriad case
This webinar is the second in Finnegan’s “Strategic U.S. Patent Series for European Counsel.”
