CLS Bank International has created a dramatic effect on the validity of computer-related patents. Trends on "Alice Storm" have continued and become more entrenched. An uptick in the number of Section 101 decisions is seen with about 70% of patents being invalidated. With no clear guidance from the Supreme Court, lower courts are at times uncertain on how to distinguish an abstract idea from an inventive concept. Moreover, a large number of patent applications have been rejected by the USPTO under Alice. In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders organized by The Knowledge Group will discuss the latest trends following the Alice Storm. They will provide an in-depth analysis of the impact brought by the Alice decision to patent infringement litigations and patent applications. Speakers will also offer strategies to overcome the aftermath of the Alice Storm. Some of the major topics covered in this course are: § The 'Alice Storm' – An Overview § Significant Changes and Challenges § Court Approach § USPTO Application of Alice § Recent Case Laws § Best Strategies on Overcoming the Alice Aftermath About The Knowledge Group/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.
