The Supreme Court issued its groundbreaking decision in KSR International v. Teleflex, Inc. on April 30, 2007. The decision could affect any company that holds patents or licenses patents for commercial use. As a
global leader in intellectual property law, Morrison & Foerster is pleased to offer clients and friends a seminar on the decision’s
consequences for the legal and business community. Our leading patent prosecutors and IP litigators will share their views
