Join David Cavanaugh, Greg Lantier and Heather Petruzzi and Public Policy Advisor Jeff Wieand for a discussion centered on the potential impacts a second Trump term will have on intellectual property law in legislation, USPTO Activity and in the judiciary. As President-elect Trump quickly fills government roles, the presenters will explore what may happen and what to look for in the coming months.
Topics of discussion will include:
- prospects for legislation addressing the scope of section 101 patentable subject matter;
- possible legislation to reinstitute the presumption of a right to an injunction as a remedy for patent infringement;
- prospects for legislation and regulations addressing pharmaceutical patents and possible drug pricing;
- assessing the impact on previous attempts to broaden Bayh-Dole ‘march-in’ to regulate patent licensing prices; and
- other aspects of the Trump Administration’s impact on intellectual property—including expectations for USPTO policy prioritization and nominations to the federal bench.
Participants will have the opportunity to contribute questions for the panelists online during the webinar. CLE credit will be provided.
