The Impact of Post-Grant Challenges
to the Value of Life Sciences Patents

Please Join Us

Join us for a two panel program as we discuss key tips and strategies for life science innovators navigating the increasingly complex interplay between the U.S. patent system and federal courts. Our expert panelists will discuss recent judicial decisions and USPTO initiatives that are rewriting assumptions about what inventions can be protected and how those protections can be challenged. They also will discuss possible changes on the horizon and strategies for increasing the economic and strategic value of life sciences patents.

Panel Session Topics:

  • Advanced PTAB Tactics, Impact of Recent Appellate Decisions, and Perspective From the Bench
  • Pre-litigation, Value Building, and Strategic Use Perspective
