[Webinar materials available for download] US patent-related seminars by US intellectual property experts

◆ Points of attendance:
In this webinar, two experts from Baker Botts LLP , a well-known US intellectual property law firm, will give lectures on two themes.

Session 1
[Lecture Title] U.S. International Trade Commission Patent-Based Exclusion Orders:How They Are Enforced and How Re-Designed Products Are Adjudicate
[Summury] This seminar will cover various types of USITC exclusion orders, how they will be enforced by the USITC and the US Department of Homeland Security Customs and Border Protection (CBP), and ITC advice, amendments, and enforcement procedures. We will cover party procedures and one-sided procedures at CBP.

Session 2
[Lecture title] Impact on Patent Litigation by the Type of USPTO Examiner
[Summary] Using over a decade of data on USPTO examiners collected from the LexisNexisPatentAdvisor® database, we examine key milestones in the life cycle of a U.S. patent application through the lens of examiner type, showing historical trends and counterintuitive results. Surprisingly, patent application examiner type also influences patent litigation in U.S. District Courts and in the Inter Partes Review (IPR) PTAB trial courts.
