"The value of a patent, for better or worse, is related to the likelihood that it could be successfully defended against challenges. In the past, it was believed that there was safety in numbers. Today, the focus is on quality patents, not the quantity of patents.
The requirements of §112 have become the linchpin in modern patent practice. Whether you are trying to define an improvement over the prior art to satisfy the Alice-Mayo patent eligibility test, or you need to carefully describe an innovation to overcome obviousness hurdles, filing a well-crafted, completed and vetted specification is mandatory.
Join presenters Gene Quinn, founder of IPWatchdog.com, Joseph Root, founder of QualiPat and Dave Stitzel, IP Solutions Consultant on February 22 at 12:00 PM ET for a free webinar. They will discuss best practices for filing a robust application to avoid §112 rejections and associated problems." |
