Harmonizing applications (US and Europe)

Harmonizing applications (US and Europe)
Wednesday, June 8, 2011
Time: 1pm ET

A priority patent application serves as the basis for obtaining protection in all jurisdictions of interest. Given that different jurisdictions can have dramatically different formal and/or substantive legal requirements for a patent application, it is important to try to bear these various requirements in mind when drafting a priority patent application. Differences between the requirements of a patent application in the USPTO and EPO can be used to provide good examples of the care that should be given to drafting a priority patent application.

In this webinar, we will:
  • Review different legal requirements of the USPTO and the EPO affecting claim drafting
  • Propose claim drafting strategies suitable for both legal systems
  • Discuss how to deal with technical effects and advantages in your description
  • Provide tips on how to tweak your specification to facilitate prosecution and to strengthen protection for your invention
  • Explore impact on filing strategies
Presenters:

Sean P. Daley PhD, Principal, Boston
