Thinking Ahead: Patent Prosecution in the United States and Europe with an Eye Toward Enforcement
October 7, 2015
Webinar
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
This webinar is the fourth in Finnegan’s 2015 “Strategic Patent Series for European Counsel.”
