Requirement: Meeting Section 112 Disclosure Obligations After Ariad v. Lilly" on June 10, 2010 from 1:00 – 2:30 PM (EST).

What are the implications of Ariad
for the predictable and non-predictable arts?

How will Ariad impact patent prosecution?

take to meet the written description requirement and withstand invalidity
challenges based on the written description?
