Indefiniteness and Functional Claiming: Drafting Strategies

January 20, 2016

Webinar

View Webinar

In 2014, the Supreme Court’s Nautilus decision shined the spotlight back on the definiteness requirement for patent claims and also changed the standard for indefiniteness from “insolubly ambiguous” to “reasonable certainty.” 

While the impact of this new standard is debatable, it is nonetheless a consideration in application and claim drafting. Please join us for a practical discussion on topics that include:

  • Nautilus Deconstructed: What Is the New Standard
  • The Law of Indefiniteness: Post-Nautilus Decisions
  • Functional Claiming: Where, When, and How
  • Prosecution Strategies and Considerations

This webinar is the first segment of Finnegan’s winter 2016 series, “Moving Target or Opportunity: Strategic Considerations in Today’s Changing U.S. Patent Landscape.”
