The
Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar
entitled "Post-Grant
Review — Coming Soon" on October 16, 2013 beginning at 2:00 pm
(ET).  A panel consisting of the Hon.
Jennifer Bisk, Patent Trial and Appeal Board, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office;
Mark Charles of Procter & Gamble Co.; and Marc Wefers of Fish &
Richardson, PC will consider the ways in which post-grant review (PGR) is
likely to develop, including whether certain industries are liable to be
targeted; how to avoid pitfalls in pursuing parallel challenges in the U.S. and
Europe; the deterrence of the estoppel provisions; and important implications
for a company if it steps up the monitoring of competitors' patent
applications.

The
registration fee for the webinar is $120 (government and academic rates are
available upon request).  Those
