  • Jersey City, NJ (1888PressRelease) October 31, 2017 - This event is scheduled Monday, November 13, 2017 @ 12:00 PM to 1:00 PM (ET).

    Event Synopsis:
    For the past years, several provisions from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) were made to review the validity of granted patents. Due to the changing U.S. patent system, the American Invents Act (AIA) established post-grant reviews to validate patents in a much wider range of invalidity grounds and applications.

    However, with the growing number of significant changes brought by the AIA to the U.S. patent system, more issues qualify for PGR and preemptive challenges arise that generally affect the patent landscape. While the validity of patents is still in question, some claims were found out to be invalid and many of these petitions are still pending, raising a heightened concern among the patent owners and companies. With only few among PGR petitions granted, PGR primarily aims to challenge unpatentable claims, review the patentability of such claims on trial proceedings and produce more grounds to challenging the validity of patents.

    In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders brought together by The Knowledge Group will help the audience understand the fundamental aspects of Post-Grant Reviews. They will also provide an in-depth discussion of the challenges in verifying the validity of patents and the best strategies to avoid potential legal risks and threats.
