SSMP attended 12th Annual Patents for Financial Services Summit
The 2015 Annual Patents for Financial Services Summit took place July 22nd - 23rd at the Doubletree by Hilton Metropolitan in New York.
The summit was attended by in-house legal executives within the financial services industry, patent attorneys, outside counsel, and
prosecutors to learn and discuss strategies to protect patents in light of recent Supreme Court rulings on patent eligibility.
Some topics that were discussed at the summit include the Supreme Court's decision on the Alice Corp. v. CLS Bank International, patent
reform, legislation and recent changes in PTAB proceedings, patent trolls, and evaluations on other recent court cases such as
Ultramercial V. Hulu, Teva v. Sandoz, Commil USA LLC v. Cisco Systems Inc., and more.
Senior Partner, Paul Esatto attended the Summit on behalf of the firm. "This was the first year I attended the Summit and am glad that
I did. I found the sessions to be very interesting, timely and helpful. I would attend again," said Esatto.
