In this webinar, we will examine recent developments at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) and provide a wide angle view of the impacts these changes are having on offensive and defensive patent strategies for our clients and other stakeholders. Over the past nine months, following the 2024 federal election and the appointment of USPTO Director John Squires in September, the USPTO has experienced significant and rapid changes in both personnel and policy. Artificial intelligence (AI) is also playing an increasingly important role in this landscape. This webinar will address updates within the USPTO Examining Corps and other personnel, developments at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), changes in policy, law and regulatory practice, and the USPTO’s response to AI-related inventions and tools.
1.0 hour of CLE credit is approved in Ohio and Texas.
