Recent Developments and Strategies for Avoiding the Growing Reach of Obviousness-Type Double Patenting

Finnegan attorney Jeffrey M. Jacobstein will discuss the Federal Circuit’s recent overhaul of the double patenting framework and efforts by district courts and the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to apply the changed law. The seminar will also address the impact these changes might have on applications currently being prosecuted, as well as new avenues for challenging issued patents in subsequent litigation. The seminar will take place at the Boston Bar Association (BBA) in Boston, Massachusetts. For more information, or to register, please see BBA’s website.
