"Patentability tips and tricks at the USPTO and EPO” has something for every prosecution practitioner. Mike Jennings, partner and European Patent Attorney at highly rated AA Thornton IP LLP in London, and member of CIPA’s Computer Technology Committee, will tackle the challenging and ever-changing landscape of computer-implemented inventions giving you the best practices and latest current thinking for patenting this technology at the European Patent Office.

Another international patentability expert, AIPLA’s Ryan Pool, partner at Millen, White, Zelano & Branigan, of Arlington, Virginia, will focus on legal doctrines inside of obviousness in the US which are widely used in the chemical, biological, and mechanical arts. He will provide data on the performance of rejections which use these doctrines and even show you how you can use them to your advantage.
