Providing the patent prosecution skills you need to excel at your job!
This is a must-attend program for new or junior lawyers, patent agents, technical advisors, IP Specialists, or international practitioners. This program will help you speak the language of the USPTO and US practitioners when sending instructions on a US case or when receiving instructions on a local case.
Join us in at AIPLA Headquarters in Arlington, VA for this 3-day patent prosecution seminar.
Now in its 26th year, AIPLA’s Patent Prosecution Boot Camp is a comprehensive, CLE-accredited seminar that includes instructional lecture-style sessions with practical tips on U.S. and international patent preparation and prosecution, as well as hands-on interactive workshops that will walk you through drafting claims and responding to office actions. To ensure that the workshops are relevant to your practice, they are held in smaller groups according to technology backgrounds: (1) Biotechnology/Chemical, (2) Electrical/Software, and (3) Mechanical.
Day 1 focuses on preparation of a patent application.
Day 2 focuses on prosecution of the application to grant.
Day 3 is a half-day program dedicated to more advanced topics such as petitions, appeals, post-grant proceedings, and international practice.
Thank you to our sponsor!
If you would like to sponsor this event, please email Lisa Beller for more information.
