On March 16, 2013, one of the most significant changes to the U.S. patent statute in the last 50 years, the “first-to-file” provision of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act (AIA), will take effect.
After March 16, the inventor with the earliest-filed application is now the one entitled to claim a patent over another inventor, regardless of who invented the claimed subject matter first.
This webinar will discuss potential challenges of first-to-file and strategies to prepare for the change in these final weeks of the first-to-invent system.
