USPTO Software Patent Roundtable - Presentations

I posted an article USPTO Seeks Software Community's Input on Software Patents that noted the USPTO planned roundtables at Stanford and NYU. For details see the Federal Register: Request for Comments and Notice of Roundtable Events for Partnership for Enhance of Quality of Software-Related Patents.

The USPTO proposed three topics: (1) establishing clear boundaries for claims that use functional language; (2) future topics for the software partnership; and (3) oral presentations on preparation of patent applications.

After the Stanford roundtable, the USPTO published the following presentations:

Chien, Colleen SCU Professor & Karkhanis, Aashish SCU student [PPT]

Ellis, John [PPT]

Gutierrez, Horacio, representing Microsoft [PPT]

Hewitt, Carl [PPT]

Molino, Tim, BSA [PPT]

Patel, Aseet, Banner & Witcoff, Ltd. [PPT]

Russell, Jeremy [PPT]

To better understand the presentations, you may want to watch the webcast of the NYU roundtable at 9 am - noon, February 27, 2013:
