TOKYO 2015 November 17 / 18, 2015 Part 1 - November 17 (whole day) Recent developments in patent prosecution and litigation in Europe and the US Part 2 - November 18 (am) The European Patent Package: Unitary Patent and UPC Special Part 3 - November 18 (pm) Life Science IP Special ACADEMY HILLS • アカデミーヒルズ ROPPONGI HILLS MORI TOWER 49F • 六本木ヒルズ森タワー49階 www.cppc.jp greetings ご挨拶 The European Patent Package is expected to come into force in 2017. At the same time, the EPO continues to create new challenges. Some applicants therefore consider more thoroughly whether national IP rights are a suitable alternative to European patents. The system will become more complex and provide new strategic options after establishment of the Unified Patent Court. In the United States, the patent eligibility of computer-related and biotechnology inventions continues to evolve. The US Patent Office continues to play an important role in patent litigation in the United States and new proposed rules of practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board seek to increase the efficiency and quality of PTAB decisions. In view of these developments and new case law impacting patent practice it seems increasingly important to have a clear perspective and thorough knowledge of the relevant systems, to be able to decide on the best strategy . This year’s CPPC seminar will provide you with that knowledge and insight for Europe and the US. The first seminar day (Nov. 17) will provide an update on the most relevant patent law developments in general. In view of the forthcoming implementation of the European Patent Package, we will dedicate the morning of the second day (Nov. 18) to the Unitary Patent and the UPC. In the afternoon of the second day, we will focus on IP issues of particular interest for the life sciences industries. As in the past years, in addition to comparative views of the situation in the U.S. and Europe, expert comments from a Japanese perspective will be provided. Simultaneous interpretation into Japanese will be provided throughout both days. 欧州では、欧州特許パッケージが2017年中にも導入される見込みです。一 方で、欧州特許庁は新たな挑戦となる課題を絶え間なく作り出しています。 このため出願人は、欧州特許に代わるものとしての各国での知的財産権の 重要性をより真剣に検討する傾向にあります。 また、統一特許裁判所の設立 後には、制度がより複雑化して新たな戦略オプションが生じます。 米国では、コンピュータ関連やバイオテクノロジー関連の発明の特許性に 関する新しい議論が次々と展開されています。米国の特許訴訟においては、 米国特許庁がいまだ重要な役割を果たしており、米国特許審判部(PTAB)に 対して新たに実務上の規範を提示して、PTABの判断の効率化及び質の向上 を図っています。 このような最近の動きや特許実務に影響を与える判例を見ると、最良の特 許戦略の決定のためには、明確な目標と関連する制度に関する詳しい知識 が非常に重要であることが分かります。 このため、本年度のCPPCセミナーで は、欧州と米国に関する情報と考察をご紹介させていただく予定です。 セミナー初日 (11月17日)には、特許法に関する最新の動きについて全般的 に取り上げます。 二日目(11月18日)午前の部では、予定される欧州特許パッケージの導入を 背景に、欧州単一効特許と欧州統一裁判所に焦点を当てて講演を行います。 また、二日目午後の部の講演では、 ライフサイエンス業界における知財問題 を中心に解説を致します。 セミナーでは、欧米の比較的見地からのレクチャーに加え、 日本の視点から の専門家のコメントも入ります。 両日を通じて講演には日英の同時通訳をご用意しております。 なお、11月17日には、セミナー後にレセプションディナー(会場:51階六本木 ヒルズクラブ)をご用意しております。多くの皆さまのご参加をお待ちしてお ります。 On the evening of Nov. 17, all seminar participants are invited to the CPPC Reception at the Roppongi Hills Club (51st floor). conference venue 会場ご案内 Academy Hills Roppongi Hills Mori Tower 49F 6-10-1 Roppongi, Minato-ku, Tokyo Tel: +81 (0)3-6406-6220 六本木ヒルズ森タワー49階 • アカデミーヒルズ 〒106-6108 東京都港区六本木6-10-1 Tel: (03) 6406-6220 www.academyhills.com/aboutus/access/index.html Subway 地下鉄 Roppongi Station – Hibiya Line Exit 1C (3 min) 日比谷線「六本木駅」1C出口徒歩3分 (コンコースにて直結) Azabu-Juban Station – Nanboku Line Exit 4 (12 min) 南北線「麻布十番」4出口徒歩12分 Roppongi Station – O-Edo Line Exit 3 (6 min) 大江戸線「六本木駅」3出口徒歩6分 Azabu-Juban Station – O-Edo Line Exit 7 (9 min) 大江戸線「麻布十番」7出口徒歩9分 contact お問合せ先 CPPC Office c/o German Chamber of Commerce and Industry in Japan (Ms. Inui) Sanbancho KS Bldg. 5F, 2-4 Sanbancho, Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo 102-0075, Japan 在日ドイツ商工会議所内 CPPC事務局(担当:乾) 〒102-0075 東京都千代田区三番町2-4, 三番町KSビル5F Tel: +81 (3) 5276-8826, Fax: +81 (3) 5276-8736 Email: [email protected] november 17 ( tue) November 17 (whole day) – Part 1 Recent developments in patent prosecution and litigation in Europe and the US 8:30 Registration / 受付 9:00 Welcome / 開会のご挨拶 9:05 Clarity and Disclaimers 明瞭性と除くクレーム When can you attack a patent for lack of clarity in EPO opposition proceedings? And what can you do if your disclaimer is found unclear - can you then disclaim more? Two new EPO decisions have enhanced clarity about these controversial issues. In the US, the Supreme Court’s decision in Nautilis set a new standard for determining whether a patent claim is “indefinite,” and the Federal Circuit’s recent en banc decision in Williamson set a new standard for functional claiming. We will examine the impacts of these decisions and provide practice tips for addressing them. 9:50 Protecting Priority in Europe 欧州における優先権に関する問題 EPO rules on priority can surprise international applicants. Even before an application reaches the EPO, decisions made during the priority year can affect the validity of the priority right. In this talk, we provide practical advice to protect your priority right in Europe. 10:15 Design Patents in US 米国における意匠特許 Japan and the United States joined the Hague Agreement on Industrial Designs on May 13, 2015 permitting Japanese companies to file single design patent applications covering multiple jurisdictions, including the United States. This presentation will focus on practical tips for achieving strong design patent protection in the United States, including the effective use of broken lines to maximize patent scope, strategies for claiming multiple embodiments of varying scope, and claiming color. The presentation also will address how Japanese companies can protect their designs through product configuration trademarks when their design patents expire. 10:40 – 11:10 Coffee Break / 休憩 11:10 Saving Time and Costs in Patent Prosecution 特許権利化における時間と費用の削減 Managing a global patent portfolio can be time-consuming and expensive. We will review strategies available for expediting patent prosecution in US and for saving time and costs at the EPO. 11:55 Means of Evidence and Burden of Proof at the EPO and in the US 欧州と米国における証拠方法と立証責任 Strategic aspects based on case law are presented, which help to make your case at the EPO strong. In the US, the burden of proof is an important consideration in choosing venues for resolving disputes due the variations between the Patent Office and Courts. 12:40 – 13:45 Lunch / 昼食 (Roppongi Hills Club) 13:45 Update on Computer-implemented Inventions コンピューター利用発明に関する最新情報 Discussion of patent eligibilty of computer related inventions in the US after Alice decision and subsequent Patent Office Guidance. With its decision Bildstrom (Image Stream) the German Federal Court of Justice has increased the chances of obtaining patent protection for inventions in the field of Graphical User Interfaces (GUIs). The talk will explain the changes. Furthermore, changes to the Guidelines for Examination at the EPO regarding Computer Implemented Inventions (CIIs) will be presented. 14:25 FRAND Defense in Europe after the CJEU Judgment Huawei v. ZTE ファーウェイ対ZTE事件に関する欧州司法裁判所判決後の欧州 におけるFRAND抗弁 In July, the Court of Justice for the European Union passed the long awaited judgment on the FRAND defense. The court introduced new rules on how Standard-Essential Patents can be enforced and what standard implementers will have to do to prevent an injunction. We will look at the lessons to be learned from this judgment for patentees and alleged infringers and how this will impact future patent litigation in Europe. 14:50 Claim Construction in US after Supreme Court decision in Teva Pharmaceuticals テバ製薬事件に関する連邦最高裁判決後の米国におけるクレ ーム解釈 Discussion of impact of Supreme Court decision in Teva Pharmaceuticals on claim construction in US which enhances the discretion of the trial court Judge and thus the importnace of a strong evidentiary presentation on claim terms at trial. 15:15 – 15:45 Coffee Break / 休憩 15:45 Inducement and Divided Infringement 侵害への教唆と複数者による侵害 We will look at enforcement of patents when infringing activities are performed by more than one party in view of recent decision on divided infringement by CAFC in Akamai and decisions by the German Federal Court of Justice and the HRC Karlsruhe. 16:30 Litigation Case Study: Actavis vs. Eli Lily 侵害訴訟のケーススタディ: Actavis vs. Eli Lily Actavis and Eli Lilly have been locked since 2012 in intensely fought disputes before the UK and German courts. The case illustrates the chances and challenges of multi-national patent litigation in Europe and addresses interesting issues of equivalent and indirect infringement. We will also address the case study from a US perspective. 17:15 Q&A and Panel discussionn Q&A / パネルディスカッション How to become an IP World Champion in view of the various new challenges? 18:00 Reception Dinner / レセプション (Roppongi Hills Club) november 18 ( wed) November 18 (am) – Part 2 November 18 (pm) – Part 3 The European Patent Package – Life Science Special Unitary Patent and UPC Special 8:30 Registration / 受付 9:00 Approaching the Introduction of the European Patent Package – What you need to know now 欧州特許パッケージ導入に備えて今知っておくべきこと The European Patent Package (EPP) may well be implemented by end of 2016 or early 2017. It’s time to prepare for it. This lecture lays the foundations. 9:30 Mock Consultation: Litigation strategies 訴訟戦略に関する模擬コンサルティング How to exploit the new options of the EPP? The discussed scenarios will demonstrate the pros and cons of UPC litigation vs. national litigation. 10:45 – 11:15 Coffee Break / 休憩 11:15 Portfolio Management in View of the Forthcoming European Patent Package 欧州特許パッケージを考慮したポートフォリオマネージメント Once the UPC will come into force, central and national enforcement will coexist, as well as central and national patent applications will remain alternative ways for obtaining protection. This session will discuss and hint at possible ways to maximize protection and at possible combined strategies to that effect, while also reviewing certain peculiarities of different industries and technical fields. The implications for possible defendants and licensees will also be addressed. 11:40 Panel Discussion: Best strategies and how to prepare for the Unitary Patent and the UPC パネルディスカッション: 欧州単一効特許導入と欧州統一裁判所 設立に向けての最善の戦略 12:00 Q&A . 12:30 – 13:20 Lunch / 昼食 (Roppongi Hills Club) 13:20 The Newest Case Law in Europe on SPCs 欧州における特許延長制度(SPC)に関する最近の判例 A case law review of the jurisprudence on SPCs in Europe is provided, which shows you the possibilities to obtain SPC protection. 13:45 BioSimilars: Sandoz v.
