The Knowledge Group Has Scheduled a Live Webcast on Navigating Double Patenting in the USPTO Era of Rulemaking
The Knowledge Group, the leading producer of regulatory-focused webcasts, announced today that it has scheduled a live webcast entitled: Navigating Double Patenting in the USPTO Era of Rulemaking.
- (1888PressRelease) February 10, 2025 - This event is scheduled for Tuesday, February 25, 2025, from 12:00 PM to 1:30 (ET).
Event Summary:
In today’s evolving patent landscape, understanding obviousness-type double patenting (ODP) is critical to securing and maintaining strong intellectual property rights. The Federal Circuit's evolving case law in the URAA era from Gilead to Novartis, and most recently Cellect and Allergan has significant implications for patent protection strategies.
Join our speakers in this CLE webcast as they explore the latest developments in double patenting jurisprudence and share strategic insights to mitigate risks and optimize patent prosecution. The discussion will cover proactive measures such as removing unnecessary terminal disclaimers before issuance, leveraging patent term extension (PTE), and addressing the risk of ODP to patent term adjustment (PTA). It will also highlight key prosecution strategies, IP portfolio audits to identify potential ODP challenges, and the use of reissue applications to correct PTA-related vulnerabilities.
Key topics to be discussed:
- Background of double patenting and Federal Circuit case law (Gilead, Novartis, Cellect, Allergan)
- Preemptive strategies to avoid unnecessary terminal disclaimers
- ODP implications on PTA and PTE protection
- Holistic prosecution approaches to mitigate ODP risks
- Best practices for auditing IP portfolios and addressing ODP challenges
- Reissue applications as a tool for patents with PTA
- Global IP strategy considerations for US national stage entry
- Decision-making authority in licenses and collaboration agreements
