Join Donald Chisum for a discussion on how to analyze the opinions of the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit to assess their impact on patent law and practice.
He will illustrate how to “deconstruct” sometimes opaque opinions using recent cases from 2018 as examples.
Case coverage will include:
Monsanto v. DuPont: opinion by Judge Wallach on inherent anticipation and giving claims their “broadest reasonable interpretation” in the PTO
Texas Advanced v. Renease: opinion by Judge Taranto on extraterritorial sales, the intersection between patents and trade secret protection and the jury trial right
Vanda Pharms.: opinion by Judge Lourie on Section 101 eligibility and active inducement
The CLE presentation will run from 3:30pm to 4:30pm. A reception will follow.
