12:00 pm - 1:00 pm ET
In the United States, 35 U.S.C. § 112 requires a written description that: (1) would enable one skilled in the art to understand the claimed subject matter; and (2) teaches one skilled in the art how to make and use the invention without "undue experimentation" (enablement). Outside the United States, many national and regional laws have similar provisions regulating the relationship of patent claims to the disclosure in the specification. Recent decisions demonstrate how the written description and enablement requirement can impact your patent portfolio in the U.S., China, and Europe.
Please join the panel of Jones Day's Women in IP Speaker Series for an online review of the Federal Circuit's recent decisions in this area, as well as a discussion about how courts are applying the teachings of these decisions. Our panelists will also discuss recent developments in China and Europe, along with strategies and recommendations for drafting patent applications in view of the current landscape.
