About Taft Stettinius & Hollister LLP
Intellectual property is a significant asset for companies in today’s competitive landscape. Protecting that asset is critical. Intellectual property is more than patents and trademarks — it is the people, practices and big ideas that keep a business running. No matter the industry, organizations need legal counsel that can identify, protect and enforce their ongoing IP rights and that can secure their freedom to operate in the marketplace.
Taft’s team of Intellectual Property attorneys focuses on providing comprehensive legal strategies to support clients’ needs and goals. Our group consists of more than 60 attorneys, including more than 30 registered patent attorneys and agents, who are well-positioned with the experience and connections to protect our clients’ IP needs.
In addition to patent, trademark, and copyright protection and litigation, our IP attorneys advise clients on the trade secret protection, unfair competition, false advertising and the right of publicity. We have experience representing clients across industries, including financial services, software development, electric manufacturing, specialty chemicals, security, automotive, entertainment, and health care.
Our attorneys assist clients in a range of traditional and innovative IP matters, from drafting licensing and development agreements and handling disputes to assisting individuals and institutions from early research through commercialization. We have experience litigating suits regarding involving technologies such as avionics, LCD optics, video signaling, semiconductor design and operation, thin film transistor manufacturing and design, voice-over-internet telephony and firewalls, routers and switches, network topology and message routing, LED design and operation, PECVD manufacturing processes, regulated medical devices, pharmaceutically active substances and formulations, cellular screening methods, computer software and electronic point of sale devices.
Taft’s patent prosecution team consists of over 30 registered patent attorneys and agents that practice before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and prepare and prosecute patent applications in a broad range of technologies. We provide patentability studies and opinions; right-to-use (non-infringement) studies and opinions; patent license preparation and negotiation; and client counseling relating to both client and competitor patents and related technologies.
While we regularly guide clients through all stages of litigation, including appeals, the goal is always to avoid and resolve potential disputes before they reach that point or, at the very least, to achieve a successful result as quickly and efficiently as possible.
Event Synopsis:
The Alice decision continues to be a significant part of the U.S. patent law landscape. For the past years, the ruling has been contributory to the rejection of thousands of patent claims in the realm of software and business methods, hugely impacting various technology areas. Despite this, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and the courts are still clarifying Alice’ interpretation and application because of the immense complexity in this area of law. Recently, the USPTO issued its 2019 Revised Patent Subject Matter Eligibility Guidance which modifies the procedures in identifying whether patent claims are directed towards judicial exception.
With the continuous rise in patent eligibility cases being filed in district courts and the increase in significant legal and regulatory developments, changes and new trends in this field of law are yet to come. Thus, leaving the patent landscape to an unknown future.
Join a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group as they delve into an in-depth analysis of the current trends and recent court rulings involving Alice. Speakers will also offer an outlook of the 2019 patent law landscape in light the post-Alice developments in 2018. Critical issues and best practices for patent application and litigation will also be provided.
This LIVE Webcast will discuss the following key provisions:
• Alice Storm Aftermath: Overview and Statistics
• Significant Trends and Developments in 2018
• Notable Cases
• Recent Updates
• What Lies Ahead
