LAW-2944 Patent Prosecution II: PTO Practice
Patent Attorneys regularly advocate their clients' inventions before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO). In this course we will analyze PTO office actions, prepare responses, conduct examiner interviews, draft appeals, conduct oral arguments, and draft re-examination requests. The class will be 1/2 reading of relevant case law and regulations and 1/2 completing exercises. Grades will be based on a few written exercises.
