3.45pm to 5.15pm: Panel Discussion: Cutting Edge Patent Drafting
Emerging technologies inevitably present new challenges for patent drafting. Initially, there may be minimal prior art, and a number of years may pass before patent offices and courts begin to provide useful guidance on satisfying legal requirements including subject-matter eligibility, sufficiency of description, and inventive step. This session will provide an opportunity to hear from specialists in three fast-moving fields of technology, and to participate in a discussion of techniques and strategies to ‘future-proof’ your drafting.
