Partner Courtenay Brinckerhoff will speak at the IP Chat Channel's webinar, "Drafting Patents with an Eye to the PTAB."
This webinar will give tips for patent claim and specification drafting that can go a long way to bullet-proofing a patent, as well as advice on savvy prosecution strategy using declarations, continuation applications, reexamination, and reissue. For instance, submitting arguments and declarations supporting §112 and §103 positions during patent prosecution will give the patent owner a powerful defense for use, if needed, in an IPR. Such declarations can be used to make the argument for non-obviousness, for instance, by supplying evidence of commercial success that otherwise would not be available at the PTAB.
