Patent prosecutors know that the patents they obtain may be subject to post-grant challenge, either before a Patent Office or in court. What can we do during patent prosecution to obtain robust patents that can withstand such challenge? In this webinar, we will discuss strategies and considerations to strengthen patents in view of possible post-grant challenge.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Getting the right claims: How do you balance considerations of claim scope and claim strength?
- Getting the right patents: Do you need multiple continuations or divisionals, or can you rely on one robust patent?
- File wrapper issues: Can your statements and submissions during global prosecution make your patent more or less vulnerable to challenge?
