Webcast Evaluation Kilpatrick Stockton LLP Webslides: KSR v Teleflex Dawn-Marie Bey Bio KSR v Teleflex USPTO Memo Leapfrog v Fisherprice

Presented by ACC's Intellectual Property Law Committee, sponsored by Kilpatrick Stockton LLP 

On April 30th, the Supreme Court issued its opinion in the KSR vs. Teleflex case; known in patent circles as the obviousness case.  Patent practitioners continue to scrutinize and discuss the opinion to ascertain potentially significant effects on issued patents, i.e., with respect to validity and enforcement thereof, and the examination of patent applications before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.  By most accounts, with this opinion, the Supreme Court has changed one of the cornerstone tests for patentability—obviousness—arguably making it substantially more difficult to both obtain and enforce patents. During this webcast a panel of experts will address the implications of the case.
