We provide the critical patent training
you need—training that would otherwise
have to be provided by senior counsel.
Think about it. Senior counsel can
save 22 hours—the amount of time spent
in our Workshop—if they send their junior
associates to our program, rather than
provide the training themselves. At
a $500/hour billable rate, that’s a savings
of $11,000 per associate we train!
Produce better patent applications,
providing better service to your clients

“I feel very lucky to be instructed by such experienced people in the field. This class has
been very valuable to me...it is so important for me to learn how (and why) to draft applications
the right way from the beginning. I am new in the field, but have received positive feedback
regarding changes I have implemented in my work since attending the workshop.”

Course Description
PRG’s Patent Workshop is designed
specifically for entry-level patent
practitioners—those with up to two
years of patent drafting and prosecution
experience. 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 – and
not 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 how
to win at the Federal Circuit! You
(and your employer) will be glad
you did.
