ULP Webinar - Protecting Your Company’s IP on a Reduced Budget
- - UTC
Description

Join the University Lab Partners on Wednesday, May 28 at 12 pm, for a highly informative webinar led by Knobbe Martens Partner Tom Cowan, to learn strategies for protecting your company’s IP on a reduced budget.

Shutdown orders due to the COVID-19 virus pandemic have created economic disruption, causing companies to scale back on intellectual property (IP) expense. This webinar covers suggestions for protecting IP on a reduced or deferred budget. Learn different techniques for timing the expenses incurred with IP protection while establishing or maintaining priority dates. The strategies presented may provide attendees with a competitive edge over those sitting on the IP sidelines during the pandemic.

Some of the topics covered include:

  • Why getting in line early and maintaining a place in line at the Patent Office is crucial to protect your patentable inventions
  • How to reserve and maintain your place in line at the Patent Office while reducing and/or deferring certain examination-related expenses
  • How to use existing patent prosecution techniques to achieve these goals without relying on potentially risky newly-available COVID-19 options from the Patent Office
  • How to use certain techniques related to claim drafting, patent family and portfolio filing strategies, and international patent practice to reduce costs
  • Using non-patent approaches to protect certain IP
