Webinar on Timing of Patent Filings

Fitch EvenFitch Even will be offering a webinar entitled "How Late Is Too Late? Setting the Timeline for Patent Protection" on August 29, 2019 from 12:00 to 1:00 pm (EDT).  Mark A. Borsos and Vincent R. Meyer of Fitch Even will explore considerations affecting the timing of patent filings and what to do if an inventor's prior actions have potentially put their patent rights in jeopardy, and will also discuss the following:

• Supreme Court and Federal Circuit decisions regarding statutory bars
• When an invention is "ready for patenting"
• Potential scenarios that could endanger patent rights
• Factors that may weigh for and against patentability once an invention has been disclosed or offered for sale
• Strategies for coordinating patent filings with development efforts

While there is no cost to participate in the program, advance registration is required.  Those interested in attending the webinar can register here.

    Looks like a great topic – is a recording of the session going to be made available? The time works out at 4am here in New Zealand so a little early.

    Evelyn:
    You will need to ask the folks at Fitch Even about the availability of a recording.

    I wonder whether the Webinar will touch on the CRISPR patents and the filing date competition between the rival filers. Especially when the intense competition plays out under First to File law.
    The rivals are already competing in various oppositions at the EPO, throwing enormous sums of money into the struggle, and thereby enriching the jurisprudence under the EPC. Long may it continue.
