At the free four-hour forum Patent Business Unit experts and Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) judges will discuss provisions of patent law and filing compliance tips. In particular, the forum will focus on prioritized examinations (aka Track One), preissuance submissions, inventor's oaths/declarations, supplemental examinations, micro-entity discount, first-inventor-to-file issues and administrative trials.

Individuals interested in attending may RSVP on the AIA microsite. The forum will also be webcast live through the USPTO website.
