About
the Program
Intellectual property (IP) law is a complex practice
area requiring a broad array of skills. The Practical Tips program is
designed to enhance these skills and enable IP practitioners to handle
the many tasks that routinely arise in this increasingly important area
of practice. Unlike programs that deal principally with cutting-edge
issues and recent court decisions, the Practical Tips program features
top professionals from the IP field that provide practical advice on
dealing with the "nuts and bolts" of every day IP practice.
This Practical Tips program is sponsored by the Young Lawyers Committee
of the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law, in cooperation with
The District of Columbia Bar Intellectual Property Law Section,
.
This particular Practical Tips program examines patent
practice, focusing primarily on patent preparation and prosecution,
opinions relating to patents, and licensing. It is an "intermediate
to advanced" level CLE course. As practical tips will be provided,
those with one to twenty years of experience in the patent field will
benefit from the program. As a special benefit to those attending the
program, a number of "model" documents typically used in patent
practice will be made available for future reference and possible adaptation
for later use. In addition, outlines of issues relating to patent practice
and other documents will be made available. These documents have been
prepared by some of the nation=s leading patent attorneys and cover
a wide variety of subjects.
