Strafford will be offering a webinar entitled "Patent Strategies for Protecting Aftermarket Parts: Strengthening the Portfolio, Implementing Enforcement Program" on February 8, 2023 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EST).  Jonathan H. Urbanek and Jacqueline L. Thompson of Fitch Even Tabin & Flannery will guide patent counsel on patent strategies for protecting aftermarket parts, discuss leveraging IP to protect aftermarket parts and create obstacles for will-fitters, and discuss claiming tactics to block will-fitters and offer guidance on detecting and stopping will-fitters once a portfolio is in place.  The webinar will review the following issues:

• Preparing, filing, and prosecuting patent applications to develop a strong portfolio focused on aftermarket parts
• Integrating business input into the patent life cycle
• Identifying and stopping will-fitters
• Creating non-patent challenges for will-fitters
