Following the Alice, Mayo, Prometheus, and Myriad court decisions in the U.S., everyone has been watching closely to see the breadth of impact these cases would have on their industry. Taking account of recent changes in their case law, both the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the European Patent Office (EPO) have recently updated their guidelines on patentable subject matter. During this seminar, we will discuss:
Just two years after the AIA post-grant challenges went into effect, the USPTO has already received over 2,000 requests challenging the validity of issued patents in what so far has been a very favorable jurisdiction for challengers. We will discuss the impact of the decisions received so far and the similarities and differences between these U.S. procedures and the corresponding EPO opposition system. We will also discuss best practices for successfully handling post-grant challenges and oppositions.
