Event Synopsis:
In April 2018, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released its new guidance on patent-eligible subject matter based on the Federal Circuit’s decision on Berkheimer v. HP, Inc. The guidance specifically addressed "the limited question of whether an additional element (or combination of additional elements) represents well-understood, routine, conventional activity" and revised certain examination procedures in accordance with the recent jurisprudence.
While the decision does not change the basic criteria of subject matter eligibility set forth in MPEP § 2106, it does, however, reinforce the need for examiners to carefully analyze claims in determining patent-eligible subject matter. The revised procedures also leave a call for patent applicants to be more critical of upcoming updates.
In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders will help patent owners, applicants and practitioners understand the important aspects of this significant topic. They will provide an in-depth discussion of the new USPTO guidance on patent-eligible subject matter in light of Berkheimer v. HP, Inc. Speakers will also offer significant insights on the implications of this decision on future patent applications.
Key topics include:
- USPTO Issues Guidance on 35 U.S.C. 101
- 2019 New Patent-Eligible Subject Matter Guidance
- Revised Step 2A of the standard analysis with a new two-prong inquiry
- For Abstract Ideas, identifies particular groupings (replaces previous “Quick Reference Sheet”)
- What remains the same
- Revised Examination Procedures
- Revised Step 2A (two-prong inquiry)
- For Abstract Ideas, identifies particular groupings (replaces previous “Quick Reference Sheet”)

- Insignificant extra-solution activity evaluated at Step 2A must be reevaluated to determine whether it is well-understood
- Impacts and Implications on upcoming Patent Applications
