IPR Workshop : Day 8 ( SDMCET, Dharwad), 08.01.2008

Today IPR workshop continued by taking another important phase in patent process:Patent Prosecution- defending your patent application. The session introduced terms such as Office action, Office Action Response, prosecution history, Estoppel. Once a clear understanding was established we were taken through a number of case studies- explaining each one of them in details. Some sample exercises involving claims- how to understand them, interpret them and how to handle objections raised by patent office were discussed.
