Join us at BASF on May 11, 2017 for "Glimpses of Hope: Protecting Software Innovations After Alice"

Software patenting has come under intense scrutiny in the last decade. Since the landmark case, Alice Corporation PTY. LTD. v. CLS Bank International, there has been a slow trickle of patents found valid under 35 U.S.C. §101. In this seminar, we will review these court cases and distill the opinions down into a set of drafting tips that will increase the probability that your software claims are patentable.
• Overview of relevant software patent court cases
• Specification/claim drafting tips to hedge your bets for section 101
​• Alternatives to patents for protecting software innovations
