2016 IP Academy Series: US Arguments for Inventive Step

In a case in March, the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit demonstrated flexibility of the recent obviousness doctrine. Join us for a discussion of the current US obviousness standards and how to better respond to obviousness rejections from the patent office.

Topics will include:

• Review and comparison of US and foreign legal standards for obviousness
• Recent cases regarding obviousness
• Practical tips on how to respond to an examiner's rejections
