Save Your Firm or Company MoneyWe provide the critical patent training

you need—training that would otherwisehave to be provided by senior counsel.

Think about it. Senior counsel cansave 22 hours—the amount of time spentin our Workshop—if they send their juniorassociates to our program, rather thanprovide the training themselves. At a $500/hour billable rate, that’s a savingsof $11,000 per associate we train!

PRG's Patent Workshop is specifically designed for entry-level patent practitionerswith up to two years of experience. And here are the top reasons why new patent practitioners must take this course (and why their senior counsel wants them to):

Course DescriptionPRG’s Patent Workshop is designedspecifically for entry-level patent practitioners—those with up to two years of patent drafting and prosecutionexperience. Through lectures and an interactive, small-group exercise, attendees will:

� Learn prudent practices for preparing and prosecuting applications that maximize the value of patents you obtain for your clients.

� Develop an understanding of current Federal Circuit case law, which can result in claims being either unduly narrowly interpreted, and therefore held to be not infringed, or held to be invalid for lack of written description or enablement support.

� Appreciate what ought to be said – andnot said – in the specifications, claims, and responses to Office actions, and why.

� Compose and prosecute a patent application in their chosen technology (chemical, mechanical/ electrical, or biotechnology), based on a disclosure, prior art, and Office actions carefully created by PRG.

Don’t miss this opportunity to learn from the pros who know howto win at the Federal Circuit! You (and your employer) will be gladyou did.
