Obviousness rejections remain the biggest hurdle, if not also the most challenging hurdle, to obtaining a US patent. Please join us as members of Laine IP’s US IP Team discuss effective strategies for overcoming obviousness rejections in the USPTO, based on recent case law and Appeal Board decisions.
Attendees will gain valuable insights into effective strategies for overcoming obviousness rejections in the US and strengthening US patent portfolios. The session will also explore the differences between US and European standards for nonobviousness / inventive step, and the role of hindsight bias in obviousness rejections.
