Changes in patent laws are occurring at a faster pace than ever all around the world. It can be hard to keep up with all of the changes, let alone figure out how those changes might affect your company’s patent strategy.

Finnegan partners Gary C. Ma and Ming-Tao Yang, Shiga International Patent Office partner Yoshifumi Saeki, and Lee and Li partner Roger Chang, come together in this unique, multi-national seminar to update you on the latest developments in patent law in the United States, Japan, and Taiwan, as they relate to patent prosecution, litigation, and invalidation proceedings. Experienced practitioners from each firm will discuss how these developments may affect your company’s patent portfolio and prosecution strategies.
