Plenty of March CLE Programs to Choose From

There are quite a few Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) related CLE events over the next few weeks.

First, today, the PatentsPostGrant March Webinar will cover Patent Derivation, Trade Secret Misappropriation & Inventorship Disputes @2PM (EST).  This program will cover the full breadth of considerations facing research heavy technologies (e.g., Bio/Pharma, semiconductor, etc) under the America Invents Act (AIA).

Later this week, the 2019 PTAB Bar Association Annual Conference will come town on March 14 – 152019, at the Ritz-Carlton in Washington, D.C. Pre-conference sessions will be offered March 13th. I’m honored to once again moderate the PTAB Master Class.

For those not able to get to DC, next Monday, 3/18 @3PM the Practising Law Institute will host a webinar entitled: Getting Your Patent Out of the PTAB: New Opportunities. This program will explore new best practices and address how to leverage the evolving PTAB landscape, including new petitioner risks, patent owner opportunities and changes to come.

I am pleased to once again join with Rob Sterne of Sterne Kessler Goldstein and Fox on this PLI program. Register (here)
