Is your client’s patent portfolio at risk? In 𝑰𝒏 𝒓𝒆 𝑪𝒆𝒍𝒍𝒆𝒄𝒕, the Federal Circuit wielded obviousness-type double patenting to invalidate a patent that received less patent term adjustment (PTA) than the other portfolio members, all stemming from the identical priority application. District courts are already reaching contrary conclusions about 𝐶𝑒𝑙𝑙𝑒𝑐𝑡’s applicability. Join Don Chisum and Janice Mueller at our March 7-8 seminar in Alexandria, VA to explore the practical implications of this far-reaching decision.
