Every year, patentees file more patent applications in a wider range of countries. Yet, prosecuting patents in multiple different countries can be challenging. While treaties and other agreements (like the Paris Convention and the PCT) may lay a foundation for many countries’ patent systems, local patent law varies widely on the issue of patent eligibility.
In this webinar, we will discuss and compare approaches to subject matter eligibility in China, Japan, and the United States. The speakers include experts in patent law in each of these countries who will discuss best practices for pursuing patent eligible claims in their respective countries. This discussion will consider different approaches to subject matter eligibility and the best approaches to obtaining patent protection across multiple jurisdictions.
Topics to be discussed include:
- Eligibility of inventions relating to or utilizing computer technology
- Eligibility of inventions relating to methods of using pharmaceuticals
- Recent developments/decisions relating to patent eligibility
