Upcoming PTAB-Related CLE Options
With the summer winding down, it is time to start looking forward to fall. September offers a number of great CLE options.
First up, on September 12th (@1-230PM EST) is the Strafford webinar entitled: Evolving PTAB Trial Practice: Navigating Complex Procedural Rules. This program offers 1.5hrs of CLE and will cover a broad range of PTAB trial practices, including recent practice changes and those on the immediate horizon.
For those seeking a deeper dive, PLI's flagship PTAB Trials 2018 will be held on Friday September 21st in New York City. If you can't get to NYC in person, strongly consider the webinar of this full-day event. (register here) PLI's comprehensive program is the longest running and most widely attended PTAB-related CLE in existence. Rather than just exploring PTAB trial practices, this program is known for its 360° degree analysis of the PTAB on the overall patent ecosystem and includes such noted speakers this year as former CAFC Chief Judge Paul Michel. This year's program will provide the first, deep-dive analysis of the recent Trial Practice Guide changes as well as other proposed and expected USPTO rule packages.
This year's program also adds a unique segment dedicated to licensing and monetization strategies, Northeast Corridor: Bio/Pharma & the PTAB, as well as PTAB-centric patent prosecution practices. I am pleased to continue to chair this program alongside Robert Greene Sterne of the Sterne Kessler firm. 7 CLE credits are offered in most jurisdictions.
Hope to see you at one of these upcoming events.
