A recent decision by the Federal Circuit, DDR Holdings, LLC v. Hotels.com, L.P, offers a glint of hope for protecting some software inventions after the same court’s discouraging decision
Last year’s Supreme Court decision in CLS Bank v. Alice Corp has provided a host of challenges for anyone involved in software innovation. Noted patent attorney Bruce Sunstein provides --for in-house and outside counsel, software engineers, patent practitioners and managers -- a road map for dealing with the ramifications of this landmark decision. In this 40-minute webinar, Bruce identifies practical steps for addressing the Patent and Trademark Office’s post-Alice resistance to granting software patents.
