patent prosecution is a complex process involving the interplay of statutes,
rules, policy, and informal knowledge of Patent Office practices. While prevention is always better than the
cure, it is important for practitioners to know how processes like claiming
priority are to be done and also how to handle situations where problems arise
which is a core part of the webinar content.
Also, in the back and forth of prosecution before a given examiner,
examiner-level data is providing new insights about what an Examiner’s
preferred style is and how a practitioner can adapt prosecution to that style
using negotiation techniques.
Practitioners taking this approach may find that the use of ex parte appeals
may need to increase, and so this webinar will cover after-final prosecution
strategies and the details of the appeals process with an eye toward using
appeals to assist with expediting resolution of issues with examiners.
