The Path to a Patent, Part V: Understanding the role of claims in a patent application

Event description

Are you an inventor preparing to file a patent application? In part five of this eight-part recurring series, our experts will discuss the parts of the claim, show examples of claim illustrations from issued U.S. patents, and help participants develop a better appreciation of how a patent examiner views a claim. 

To get the most out of this workshop, you should have an intermediate knowledge of the intellectual property (IP) system and of patents specifically. We recommend that you complete the previous sessions in the series, Part I: IP basics and Part IV: Learn how to draft your patent application, before attending.
