Description

While the primary audience for Patents 101 is attorneys without significant experience with patent law, we hope this presentation can be enjoyed (inasmuch as anyone can “enjoy” patent law) by IP attorneys curious about patents or looking for a refresher, new perspective, or CLE hours relevant to their practice area.

After trying to convince viewers that all attorneys should care about patents, the presentation will describe intellectual property conceptually and provide some history on the popularization of patents and their constitutional basis in the U.S. Then it will delve into patentability, patent-eligible subject matter, and the complicated process of securing patent protection. The presentation will discuss important concepts such as freedom to operate and patent infringement, how patents compare with trade secrets, and (of most interest to clients) monetizing patents. The presentation will conclude with tips and resources for non-IP attorneys—with enough examples along the way to hopefully make patents interesting.
