The USPTO’s Deputy Commissioner for Patent Examination Policy Bob Bahr will discuss the resources we provide on subject matter eligibility, with an emphasis on the latest revision of the Manual of Patent Examining Procedure from January. This webinar will be especially helpful for those prosecuting patent applications and/or with an interest in statutory compliance with 35 U.S.C. § 101. Please send your input and questions to patentquality@uspto.gov before and during the event.  After the webinar viewing, a Silicon Valley USPTO resource supervisory patent examiner will lead a discussion.
