NAIP Concludes Popular Seminar on US Patent Law |
|
|
On October 26 , 2007 NAIP Corporation held the fourth and final session of the seminar titled US Patent Law Amendments & Revisions to a full house in the city of Kaohsiung. The main speaker of the events, Patent Agent and NAIP General Manager Winston Hsu, focused his talks on the new USPTO patent laws and regulations set to go into effect in November of 2007. His detailed explanation and analyses of the revisions have allowed industry professionals to thoroughly understand the changes and determine how the new laws will affect future decisions. |

The seminars garnered much praise from the over 300 attendees. A brief survey found that the audience, consisting of IP industry engineers, administrative personnel, law firm executives, IP office employees and more, gave Mr. Hsus in-depth and incisive analyses an over 90% satisfaction rating.
The coming changes to US patent law are extremely complex and have considerable effect on Continuing applications, Requests for Continued Examinations (RCE), Patentably indistinct claims investigation and other related application reporting rules. |
Mr. Hsu's in-depth and incisive analyses received over 90% satisfaction ratings. |
|
According to Mr. Hsu, the revisions to the US patent laws serve to encourage a few major goals: increasing the speed of examination, allowing examiners efforts to be placed on more significant inventions, and allowing patents to reach markets faster. Limiting the number of Continuing and RCE applications will require inventors to seek more efficient methods in applying for and completing the examination process.
Mr. Hsu also expressed that these amendments and revisions have attracted much attention from patent offices around the world, and should everything go smoothly, other offices may follow suit.
