The USPTO’s Semiconductor Technology Pilot Program (STPP), announced on November 30, 2023, represents a significant initiative to boost innovation in semiconductor manufacturing. This program, supporting the CHIPS for America program, aims to expedite the patent examination process for specific semiconductor innovations.
The First-Time Filer Expedited Examination Pilot Program from the USPTO fast-tracks the first Office action for first-time utility patent applicants. This removes barriers, allowing inventors to make decisions sooner. The program aims to make the patent system more accessible and encourage innovation from diverse individuals.
Yuri Eliezer was invited to share his insights on the Conscious Design Podcast™ about the intersection of Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Intellectual Property (IP) Law.
We stand on the brink of a new era where AI could revolutionize the practice of law, particularly in the area of Intellectual Property. As Yuri Eliezer suggests, the implications are profound, from improved patent searches and drafting to potential changes in patent licensing and litigation.
Discover how to get a patent while maintaining confidentiality: Learn about provisional patent applications, the first-to-file system, and strategies for controlling disclosure in the patent application process.
With the growing adoption of e-signatures, questions and concerns have arisen regarding their legality, admissibility, and security
What are the potential cost savings and risks associated with combining multiple related inventions into a single patent application? While it may be tempting to save on filing fees, this strategy can lead to licensing and sale issues, public disclosure concerns, and invalidity risks.
A single invention (for example – an automated cleaning robot) may have many different innovations (let’s call them ‘components’) making up the entire invention. Inventors often struggle to decide if separate patent application filings are necessary for each innovation.
Yuri shares his journey to becoming a patent lawyer, his passion for helping IP clients of all sizes and stages of development, and why seeing the big picture drives his representation and leadership.
This case is China’s first patent linkability case since the implementation of the new Chinese Patent Law.
