Ex Parte Schulhauser and Claim Drafting for Computer-Implemented Inventions

Finnegan partner Eric P. Raciti will participate in a webinar discussion addressing the follow-on decisions citing Schulhauser, providing insight into the varied types of method-claim limitations that have not been given patentable weight, including how to avoid emerging trigger words, such as "carrying out a step upon a threshold being exceeded," "upon," "whether," or "when." Panelists will also discuss how these decisions extend Schulhauser's holding to system, machine and apparatus claims without means-plus-function limitations, and will give other relevant practice tips.
