About the Seminar:
At this seminar, you will learn about what can be patented (a new, useful and non-obvious process, machine,
manufacture or composition), the patent application process and what you must not do before filing an application
to patent an invention. Also covered: the best practices or documenting an invention, and why it is important to
do so; a description of the different types of applications that can be filed in the United States, plus a summary
of foreign filing requirements and procedures.
You will also learn about recent and current developments in patent law in the United States, including business
method patents, the written description requirement, and the application of the doctrine of equivalents under the Court
of Appeals for the Federal Circuit's recent Festo decision.
