Although this type of software patent is common, the Supreme Court stated that many other such claims are eligible for patenting; albeit without clear elaboration of which and why. Disturbingly, the ruling is riddled with conceptual confusion that has bedeviled the courts since the early years of the software patent debate, perhaps reflecting their somewhat limited understanding of such technological issues. In support of this contention, three justices wanted to eliminate business method patents altogether. Hence, software development companies need to be aware that the courts will place stricter limits on software patents in the future. In a two hour, live webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss The Impending Death of Software Patents and the significance of the latest court decisions for the future. Key issues include that will be covered in this course are: § Software Patentability Framework § Court Challenges to Software Patents § Mayo Collaborative Services v. Prometheus Laboratories, Inc. § Regulatory Issues and Best Practices for Patent Protection § Patent Validity for Lawyers § Consequences of Software Patent Restriction § Potential Lawsuits Against Patent Infringements § Increased Regulation About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
