About This Blog

ProsecutionFirstBlog.com, a resource of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP, provides news, analysis, and practical insights on all aspects of U.S. patent prosecution. Posts address topics including patent application drafting, patentability, client counseling, developments at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, and practical strategies and tips for patent prosecution. Because the Finnegan team of authors and editors include accomplished patent prosecutors, litigators, and post-grant practitioners, all blog posts are written with both a prosecution first mindset and an eye towards litigation. The blog does not constitute legal advice nor does it indicate the views of Finnegan or any Finnegan attorney regarding whether any particular case was correctly or incorrectly decided.
