VPATAPP Alert_Webinar: Prior Art: Understanding and Attacking Prior Art Rejections -6th September 2017

http://www.finnegan.com/priorartunderstandingandattackingpriorartrejections09062017/

Join the experts for a compare and contrast discussion on what constitutes prior art in the United States and in Europe, and how to respond to rejections over that art. Relying on over sixty years combined prosecution experience before the USPTO and EPO, the speakers will offer attendees concrete strategies for addressing novelty and inventive step/obviousness rejections. 

• What qualifies as prior art (pre- and post-AIA) and why prior art in the United States may not be prior art in Europe, with a specific focus on AIA changes to sales and offers for sales, “secret” prior art, and the ability to swear behind certain types of prior art
• Attacking inherency rejections, in the context of novelty and, yes, even obviousness
• Strategies for overcoming inventive step/obviousness rejections, including rejections using “common general knowledge” and multiple references
• Strategies for effective use of objective evidence of non-obviousness
