Panelists to Discuss How Supreme Court Decisions Have Affected Current Legislative Proposals for Patent Reform
| |
|
| What: |
The Progress & Freedom Foundation presents a panel discussion focusing on how certain Supreme Court Decisions such as eBay v. MercExchange, MedImmune v. Genentech and KSR v. Teleflex have affected current legislative proposals for patent reform and how the possibility of further action at the Supreme Court may affect the ongoing legislative process. Experts will address: the enhanced possibility for declaratory judgments on patent validity, the current litigation process, granting the PTO a substantive rulemaking authority, and whether proposed legislative changes may “reform” patent law. |
