2020 at the Supreme Court: How the court impacted patent law despite issuing only a single patent case opinion

Annual PTAB Webinar Series: 2020 at the Supreme Court: How the court impacted patent law despite issuing only a single patent case opinion

While the Supreme Court issued only one opinion relating to patent law in 2020, the court’s activities nonetheless have broad-reaching implications for patent strategy. This session will provide an overview of what the court did — and did not — decide in 2020, and provide a look ahead to how 2021 may impact your patent practice.
