The America Invents Act, the Defend Trade Secrets Act, and recent Court decisions demonstrate the ongoing changes affecting intellectual property. The new Trump administration is expected to continue this trend from the legislative perspective, and is expected that Congress will consider further legislation that may rival the size of the America Invents Act. At the same time, there are several key cases before the Federal Circuit and the Supreme Court that will continue to shape how the courts interpret the laws that Congress enacts. IP practitioners need to be aware of the state of play and how it may affect their business. What challenges could you face?

Tune into the Trump Administration’s Focus on IP Webinar, and join Terry Rea and Mike Songer from Crowell & Moring as they discuss key issues and trends affecting intellectual property including a discussion of the administrative and judicial trends that have a direct impact on all forms of intellectual property, including patents and copyrights.
