Just getting a patent may not be enough. Arguments and amendments filed during patent prosecution can have significant consequences after grant, such as restricting claim interpretation during litigation and preventing post-grant changes or corrections. We will discuss strategies for avoiding these pitfalls, as well as general considerations for obtaining valuable patents ready for enforcement.

Claim Construction―building your case to handle different interpretation standards before and after grant
Prosecution History Estoppel―what you say can and will be used against you
Amendments―pre-grant amendments may lead you into an inescapable trap after grant
