The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Patent Term Extension: The Next Chapter" on Thursday, August 5, 2010 beginning at 2:00 PM (EDT).  The IPO webinar will present a panel of experts — including the patent prosecutor who first discovered a separate calculation error by the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, another patent expert with extensive experience at the USPTO, and the litigator who successfully argued the Wyeth case at the district court and the Federal Circuit — who will discuss the recent suit filed by Novartis seeking review of the USPTO's patent term adjustment (PTA) determinations for eleven its patents.  Novartis' action is the first to question the USPTO’s interim procedures for requesting PTA recalculation in light of the Federal Circuit’s decision in Wyeth v. Kappos.  The speakers include Jack Brennan of Fish & Richardson, PC; Charles Van Horn of Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner, LLP; and Patricia Carson of Kaye Scholer, LLP.  The registration fee for the webinar is $100 (government and academic rates are available upon request).  Those interested in registering for the webinar, can do so here.
