Wolf Greenfield Webinar: Finding Opportunity in Change: Exploring Recent Developments at the USPTO

This webinar provided an overview of these developments, examined their practical impact, and shared strategies to help you adapt your approach to patent prosecution and enforcement.

Topics included:

• Key USPTO changes – from discretionary denials in IPRs and PGRs to revised examination procedures and internal shifts within the agency.
• Implications for patent applicants and owners – how these changes may affect patent prosecution.
• Strategic considerations – ways to take advantage of changing examination procedures, strengthen patents to withstand PTAB challenges, and anticipate how internal USPTO dynamics may influence outcomes during prosecution, litigation, and post-grant challenges.

Featured Speakers:

• Scott McKeown, Shareholder, Post-Grant Proceedings
• Ed Russavage, Shareholder, Electrical & Computer Technologies
