(VIDEO CONFERENCED FROM THE HOUSTON OFFICE OF WINSTEAD PC)

Abstract:

A three-way train wreck has hit the patent system. Tort reform perception impacts the patent system through both the courts and the legislature, and stealth patent reform is here now due to new Patent Office Rules and Regulations. This presentation will provide an overview of recent cases as they affect patentability, legislative efforts and new rules
