The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer two webinars on "The USPTO Revised Patent Eligibility Guidance" on January 14 and 15, 2015 from 2:00 to 3:15 pm (ET) each day. The webinars will clarify the meaning of the new guidance, discuss which inventions are now more likely to be found patent eligible and how to write patent applications that clear current hurdles. The first webinar, which will cover life sciences, will be presented by Raul Tamayo of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Deborah Martin of Pfizer, Inc., and Kevin Noonan of McDonnell Boehnen Hulbert & Berghoff LLP, and the second webinar, which will cover software and information technology, will be presented by Michael Cygan of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office, Bart Eppenauer of Shook, Hardy & Bacon LLP, and Manny Schecter of IBM Corp.
The registration fee for each webinar is $130 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
