Webinar

The Current State of Patentable Subject Matter in the United States

March 4, 2020

Webinar

View Webinar

In 2019, in the United States, the patent eligible subject matter pendulum continued to swing, driven by numerous new Section 101 court decisions. The USPTO weighed in, too, by publishing an October 2019 update to its patent subject matter eligibility guidance document—an update that seeks to further refine the USPTO’s approach to Section 101 and to remedy examiner difficulty in consistently applying the Alice test. This webinar will explore these recent events and their impact on patent eligibility in the United States, and will provide strategies for best crafting claims to withstand Section 101 challenges.

Topics to be discussed include:

  • The continuing evolution of Section 101 case law in view of recent decisions from the Federal Circuit and U.S. district courts;
  • The USPTO’s most recent guidance on patent eligible subject matter, as updated in October of 2019; and
  • Strategies for drafting patent eligible claims and overcoming Section 101 rejections.
