Key Patent-Law Decisions' Impact to Be Covered by Wolf Greenfield Webinar

BOSTON, MA--(Marketwire - September 2, 2008) - A free webinar on the true impact of five seminal patent-law cases will be presented by Wolf, Greenfield & Sacks on September 25, 12 noon to 1:30 p.m., Eastern time. Free registration at http://tinyurl.com/64s6b7.

Wolf Greenfield will cover the findings of its quantitative and qualitative research on the impact of the eBay, KSR, MedImmune, Seagate and Translogic decisions.

These rulings by the US Supreme Court and the US Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit have significantly changed the way patents can be obtained, leveraged, enforced, and challenged.

But what has actually occurred since each decision? The webinar will help in-house counsel and patent professionals understand the changes in the US patent system since the rulings and realize opportunities in the new landscape.

Participants will learn about:

--  How much harder it is for patent holders to obtain injunctions against
    infringing products since eBay.
--  What patent licensing and enforcement conduct will trigger declaratory
    judgment jurisdiction after MedImmune.
--  What the USPTO and courts have been using to determine obviousness
    since KSR.
--  The new standard being used by courts for establishing willful
    infringement since Seagate.
--  Why reexamination has become a more attractive way to challenge patent
    validity.
    

Presenters include Wolf Greenfield's Bob Abrahamsen, Michael Albert, Jim Foster, and Allen Rugg.
