Join SFIPLA for a social mixer and MCLE satisfying your ethics credit needs! (The CLE section of the evening will be from 5:30 PM to 6:30 PM).
Patent Practice – Staying Cool When Ethics Issues Heat Up: Are you “that lawyer” – the one who enjoys patent matters because of their complexity? The multiple layers of complexity include the relationships between individuals and corporations, the technologies involved, the different legal doctrines and standards applied in the PTO and the courts, and the global complexity of IP protection. And, with each new layer, different ethics issues can heat up. This seminar focuses on recent cases in District Courts and the PTO regarding ethics and professional responsibility including: duty of loyalty (conflicts and disqualification); duty of candor; confidential information in IP cases; duty to supervise; 2013 revisions to the USPTO Code of Professional Conduct and recent USPTO enforcement.
