July 18: Not So Obvious: Secondary Considerations at the PTAB

Objective evidence of non-obviousness can overcome a prima facie case of obviousness, both in district court litigation and at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. These "secondary considerations" are an important tool that patent owners can use to defeat obviousness challenges. Historically, the PTAB has not often been persuaded by such evidence. But in recent years, patent owners have found some success when presenting compelling objective evidence of commercial success, copying, long-felt need, and other secondary considerations.

• During this webinar, our presenters will discuss the following:
• Developing trends at the PTAB concerning secondary considerations
• How to insulate your petition from secondary considerations
• Best practices for patent owners developing evidence related to secondary considerations
