The USPTO will discuss examination of computer-implemented functional claim limitations under 35 U.S.C. § 112(f) (the step or means plus function clause) and 35 U.S.C. § 112(a) (the enablement and written description clause).
The USPTO requests questions be sent to patentquality@uspto.gov.
Registration is not necessary to attend. More information is available on the USPTO's event page.
Interesting in view of Congress' proposal to revise 35 U.S.C. § 112.
