Description
The 35 USC 101 enigma only gets worse! It has become inscrutable. It is now case-to-case, examiner-to-examiner, topic-to-topic, and no legislative or Supreme Court help is on the near horizon. This program will provide tea-leaf style insight from both the PTO and caselaw. The 101-eligibility issue is one that has a long echo, and we have high hope PERA can help (if passed!) the future. But what is the current state of PTO policy and CAFC decision-making and where will we collectively be in the years and decades ahead — during the enforcement period of patents now prosecuted and acquired? Gain some understanding and insight from our presenters.

Prior art (102) (pre- and post-AIA) and obviousness (103) are covered inside and outside the USPTO. Obtain an understanding of recent interpretations, along with some perspective on the future of both. 112 in a post-Amgen world.
