This year, the most significant changes in patent law in over 50 years went into effect as the America Invents Act continues to be implemented. As these new laws come into effect, businesses and inventors need to reevaluate their Intellectual Property strategies to adjust to the new changes. The most significant change was implemented in March 16, 2013 when the Patent system changed from "First to invent" to "First Inventor to File". Mr. Curran will discuss IP strategy and how the new patent laws affect the protection of your intellectual property.
