Understanding Prior Art in the United States: A Comparison to Europe and Absolute Novelty

January 11, 2011

Webinar

One person’s trash is another person’s treasure. That is particularly true when trying to determine whether a particular document or event qualifies as prior art. For those of us with international practices, understanding the different requirements for prior art in the USPTO and the EPO is vital for the effective management of our patent portfolios. This webinar will discuss the difference between the qualification requirements of prior art in the USPTO and the EPO, and certain pitfalls resulting from these differing requirements.
