Strafford will be offering a webcast entitled "Leveraging USPTO Examiner Count System: Efficiently Prosecuting Patents, Lowering Prosecution Costs" on November 9, 2017 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST).  Adriana L. Burgy, Christopher C. Johns, and Kai Rajan of Finnegan Henderson Farabow Garrett & Dunner will provide guidance on leveraging the United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO) Examiner Count System to prosecute patents more effectively, provide insight into the count system, and offer strategies for interacting with patent examiners.  The webinar will review the following issues:

• What impact does the number of claims in the application have on the quality of examination in the first office action?
• How can patent counsel use the incentives of the count system to the client’s advantage?
