Attorney Presentation
PCT Filings and International Patent Prosecution
Read Time: 1 minPatent attorney Mary Drabnis (Baton Rouge) will present a two-part session on PCT Filings and International Patent Prosecution on March 24, 2022, during the American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Virtual Patent Prosecution Boot Camp.
Now in its 23rd year, AIPLA’s Patent Prosecution Boot Camp is a comprehensive, CLE-accredited seminar that includes instructional lecture-style sessions with practical tips on US and international patent preparation and prosecution, as well as hands-on interactive workshops that walk attendees through drafting claims and responding to office actions. To ensure that the workshops are relevant to each attendee’s practice, they are held in smaller groups according to three technology backgrounds: Biotechnology/Chemical, Electrical/Software, and Mechanical.
Mary prepares and prosecutes patents, handles patent appeals, and has handled patent interferences before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), with a focus on the chemical arts and the mechanical arts. Mary currently serves as the Chair of AIPLA’s Patent Cooperation Treaty Issues Committee.
