Patent Application Preparation

Webinar Overview

Managing the patent drafting process requires interaction amongst many parties, at the least including an inventor, outside counsel in-house counsel, or other management. This may expand to include multiple inventors, licensing and/or marketing input, and different levels of management, both in-house and in an outside firm. Managing this group to achieve a high-quality patent application that is accurate from the standpoint of the inventor(s) and related technologies, cognizant of current law and ongoing changes, relevant to a business purpose, and efficient with respect to the inventor’s time, all while enabling outside counsel to remain profitable, can be challenging.
