AGENDA

Patent Drafting and Prosecution for an International Filing Program and Corresponding Assertion of Patent Rights

It is the stated objective of various international organizations to “harmonize” patent law and practice in different jurisdictions. The reality for many of us is that there are significant differences in both law and practice in every jurisdiction. The differences make it challenging to draft and prosecute patent applications to maximize the protection which is available for our clients across different jurisdictions and, ultimately, to obtain patents that are capable of being successfully asserted against infringers in those jurisdictions. This year, at Patski, our focus will be on jurisdictional differences and on practical “tips and tricks” that we can share with one another to achieve these objectives.
