Saving the Best for Last: the Top Ten Things In-House Counsel Need to Do to Prepare for The AIA’s March 2013 Deadline (Live Webinar)

With all the time we have had to get ready for the final phase of the America Invents Act (“AIA”), one would think that just about everyone had made all the adjustments necessary by now. Have you? If you have, great! Consider this a checklist to make sure that you have the bases covered. If not, now’s the time to consider them.

In this presentation, we will discuss some of the things that you can do while you still have time before the March 2013 deadline:

• Prepare against the pitfalls of first-to file
  
• Establish new priorities with your employees and with outside counsel
  
• Assess commercialization/trade secret strategies
  
• Consider the impact on your budgets
