This webinar covers the Basics of US patent law. US patent law includes many practices that diverge from common practice in European patent law. Here, we focus on key differences and engage participants in multiple practical examples. We proceed, step by step, from filing a US patent application, through examination, and to appeal and post-grant proceedings before the USPTO and the US courts with a focus on formalities, fees, deadlines and other information that is particularly relevant for European patent attorneys entrusted with matters before the USPTO.
