The name of the game is the claim. Claim drafting is one of the foundational skills of every patent practitioner focusing on patent prosecution. While building global patent portfolios becomes more and more important to client’s businesses nowadays, knowing the nuances between practices in different jurisdictions is a key to procuring quality patent protection. Criticalities may arise especially in the field of software / computer-implemented inventions (CII).
This webinar is Part II of a similar webinar to be held in October in the area of Bio-technology. The webinar takes a comparative approach to discuss claim drafting from the perspective of European practices and US practice. We have invited experts practicing in the respective regions to share their insights. This webinar will be centered on the aforementioned software/CII-related inventions, covering claim scope and inventive steps, clarity vs. sufficiency, and eligible subject matters in these two regions.
The webinar is being jointly hosted by the IP Practice in Europe Committee and the Patent Agents Committee.
Presented By:

Andrea Perronace, Jacobacci & Partners S.p.A.
