Event Summary
Technology startups stand to benefit from patents in the form of protection against competitors, increased valuations, and increased ability to obtain funding. Yet startups face many challenges when seeking patent protection, including resource constraints, lack of internal expertise and business processes, and lack of consistency and clarity in the law of patent eligibility since the Supreme Court’s notable rulings in Alice and Mayo. Moreover, the judicial abstract idea exception of patent eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101 continues to impair patent incentives and poses concerns about protecting investments in technology-related inventions.
To thrive amidst uncertainties and the constant pressures facing startups, such companies should be well-versed in any developments surrounding patent laws and best practices to successfully navigate through legal complexities, build sound patent portfolios, and recognize common pitfalls which could result in long-term repercussions.
Join experienced patent attorneys Robert Plotkin (Blueshift IP) and Mehdi Sheikerz (Staas & Halsey LLP) as they provide a comprehensive discussion of the latest trends and developments surrounding patent laws. Speakers, among other things, will also offer practical tips and strategies for managing patent portfolios for startups.
Key topics include:
• Patent Laws: Recent Trends and Developments to maximize benefits of patents
• Examining the Current Patent Eligibility Jurisprudence and Its Impact on Innovations
• Maximizing Benefits of Patents with Limited Resources
• Recognizing Common Challenges and Pitfalls
• Best Practices and Strategies in Managing Patent Portfolios for Startups
