With controversial new rules on patent prosecution passed by the USPTO and challenged in the courts, patent reform legislation moving from the House to the Senate, and a significant Supreme Court decision handed down in KSR, the past year has brought sweeping changes that are transforming the face of US intellectual property law. This event will feature a collection of leading experts from academia, industry, and the judiciary offering their insights into these developments. The event will examine the key legal and policy issues relating to USPTO and legislative reform, discuss the Supreme Court’s impact on patent law, and envision the future of the US patent system.
