Patentable Subject Matter After the Bilski Oral Argument



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



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.



Panelists:



    * 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

    * Randolph Moss, WilmerHale, Counsel for Amici Curiae Bank of America et
al.



Moderators:



    * Thomas C. Goldstein, Akin, Gump, Counsel for Amicus Curiae American
Bar Association

    * Professor Joshua Sarnoff, Washington College of Law, American
University, Counsel for Amici Eleven Law Professors and the AARP



A period for questions will follow.





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
