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

The USPTO has recently implemented a number of significant changes that are already affecting both applicants and challengers. This webinar will provide an overview of these developments, examine their practical impact, and share strategies to help you adapt your approach to patent prosecution and enforcement.

Topics will include:

• 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
• Andrew Varrenti, Associate, Electrical & Computer Technologies
