The America Invents Act - A Discussion of the Significant Changes in US Patent Law
October 2011
The America Invents Act - A Discussion of the Significant Changes in U.S. Patent Law - LIVE IN DENVER
Co-Sponsored by the CBA Intellectual Property Section
Program Description:
The America Invents Act, which awaits the president's signature, is the first major overhaul of our nation's patent law in almost 50 years. Among its many significant provisions, the Act will change the United States patent system from “first-to-invent” to “first-to-file,” new procedures will be established for third-party challenges to patent and applications, and changes will be made regarding who can file, when they can file, and what prior art can be used against them. Other provisions of the Act affect hot-topic issues, like false marking cases, business method and tax strategy patents, and joinder of unrelated parties by so-called trolls. These and other changes raise a host of questions for IP and attorneys and their clients. When and how should clients disclose their inventions? How should clients think about the new options for challenging their competitors' patents? What tactics can clients use in anticipation of future derivation or post-grant proceedings?
