\n

This webinar will highlight the differences and similarities in post-grant practice in front of three leading patent authorities, as well as strategies that can lead to global settlement in licensing negotiations.\u00a0 It will also review effective defensive strategies for patent owners, both in patent drafting and in litigation.\u00a0 With U.S.\u00a0<\/span>inter\u00a0<\/span>partes<\/span>\u00a0reviews (IPRs) and post-grant reviews (PGRs) under the AIA, U.S. post-grant practice has joined European Patent Office opposition as a key component of global IP strategy.\u00a0 Meanwhile, interest in China as a venue for patent litigation continues to grow.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n
\n

Coordinating post-grant challenges overseas effectively requires a detailed understanding of the variations between systems.\u00a0 For instance, some have noted that in Europe and China, opposition can be used with little risk as a testing ground for the presentation of arguments that could be used in litigation.\u00a0 But a substantial limitation of an EPO opposition is that it must be filed within 6 months of a patent being granted.\u00a0 By contrast, in China, a petition to invalidate a patent can be brought at any time after grant.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\n

Our expert panel includes an in-house counsel who oversees post-grant challenges at a U.S. technology company, a European patent attorney who often practices before the EPO, and a Chinese patent attorney with varied experience before SIPO (now known as the China National Intellectual Property Administration or \u201cCNIPA\u201d).\u00a0 They will discuss:<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
