The Intellectual Property Law Section invites you to join us for an upcoming virtual CLE program: Patent Searching.

Effective searching is a critical skill across patent practice, from prosecution to litigation and transactional work. This program will provide practical guidance on conducting and using searches in a variety of contexts, including patentability searches before filing, freedom-to-operate (FTO) and clearance searches before product launch, and invalidity searches in litigation and post-grant proceedings. Whether you are a patent prosecutor, a litigator, or counsel advising on product risk, and whether you are new to searching or looking to refine your strategies, this presentation will offer valuable insights and best practices from experienced practitioners.

Time: 12 noon ET
Location: Virtual
