May 6: How to Defeat an Alice Rejection

In 2014, the Supreme Court in Alice held that patent claims directed to abstract ideas are patent-ineligible unless they recite something "significantly more" than the abstract idea. What "significantly more" means has been a matter of confusion and debate ever since, particularly for patent examiners at the USPTO. For software patent applicants faced with § 101 rejections, the "significantly more" standard is a significant hurdle to overcome.

In this free patent webinar, Fish Principals Jonathan Lamberson and David Goren will discuss strategies for overcoming § 101 rejections, including:

• A discussion of recent developments in Alice jurisprudence at the PTAB and in district courts;
• Claim drafting techniques for avoiding rejections; and
• Ways to craft arguments under Alice Steps 1 and 2 to get you to allowance.
