Patentable Subject Matter After the Bilski Oral Argument



A Telecast by the Program on Information Justice and Intellectual Property
(PIJIP), Washington College of Law, American University and the Federal
Circuit Bar Association (FCBA)



November 19, 2009, 4:30-6:30 pm

Washington College of Law, Room 603



In Bilski v. Kappos, the U.S. Supreme Court will address limitations on
patentable subject matter in the context of a business method invention,
analyzing a body of case law in such a way that some say could wrongly call
into question the validity of many other patents and types of claims, while
others argue it is not restrictive enough. The oral argument - and the
subsequent decision - will be studied by a broad range of members of the
patent community who are seeking to determine its effects on innovation,
prosecution, licensing, and litigation. PIJIP and the FCBA will host a panel
of experts to discuss the case shortly after the Court hears the oral
argument.



The panelists for this program include: Raymond T. Chen, Solicitor, U.S.
Patent and Trademark Office, Counsel for Respondent, J. Michael Jakes,
Finnegan Henderson, Counsel of Record for Petitioners, Nancy Linck,
Rothwell, Figg, Counsel for Amicus Curiae BIO, and Randolph Moss,
WilmerHale, Counsel for Amici Curiae Bank of America et al. A period for
questions will follow. Thomas C. Goldstein, Akin, Gump, Counsel for Amicus
Curiae American Bar Association and Professor Joshua Sarnoff, Washington
College of Law, American University, Counsel for Amici Eleven Law Professors
and the AARP will moderate.



In addition to on-site attendance, the FCBA will also broadcast the program
live via the web on November 19, 2009 as a part of its regular Horizons
series.
