Anticipation/Obviousness

Join us for a discussion on how to better respond to US and European patent (EP) novelty and inventive step rejections. The United States and Europe have differing laws and rules for novelty and inventive steps, and an effective response to an examiner’s rejection must follow each region’s practices.

We welcome Kate Taylor, an EP patent attorney from HGF, as a guest speaker to discuss the EP’s novelty and inventive step standards.

Topics Will Include:

• A review and comparison of legal standards for US and EP anticipation and obviousness
• Recent cases regarding anticipation and obviousness
• Practical tips on how to respond to an examiner’s rejections
