Restriction Requirements are expressly prohibited within a Markush claim.  Yet, the USPTO keeps issuing them.  During this webinar, Bob Titus (Eli Lilly) and Brian Lathrop (Drinker) will discuss the following:

• The Unique Problems Markush Groups Present During Examination

• The Tension Between Restriction and Election-of-Species Requirements

• The New Unity of Invention Rejection

• Examination and Prosecution—Practical Problems With Markush Claims

• Proposed Alternative Approaches

• Strategic Considerations

There will be no CLE credit for this free webinar.
Title: Restriction of Markush Claims: Theory and Reality
Date: Tuesday, April 3, 2012
Time: 12:00 PM - 1:00 PM EDT
