Dr. Jonathan Schuchardt of Dilworth IP will be presenting an upcoming Strafford webinar focusing on the evolving obviousness standard of the USPTO. Obviousness Standard After the AIA: Leveraging Latest PTO and Court Guidance – Overcoming Challenges of Obviousness and Attacks on Patent Validity will be presented on January 21, 2016 from 1:00 to 2:30 PM (EST).  The webinar will review the Federal Circuit’s recent decisions and their effect on the obviousness standard, discuss what level of “unexpected results” is now needed in light of these decisions, and offer strategies for successfully asserting obviousness in an IPR Proceeding.  This is the third time Jon has been invited by Strafford to present on the continual developments in this area of U.S. patent law.  Jon will be joined in this session by W. Todd Baker of Oblon McClelland Maier & Neustadt.
