Advanced Patent & Licensing Seminar

BSKB offers a two-week Advanced Patent and Licensing Seminar (APLS) in the autumn. The APLS includes workshops and problem solving relating to patents, in order to illustrate the more advanced concepts with regard to prosecution, claim interpretation, and validity and infringement issues. The 2012 APLS will feature lectures about the changes in U.S. patent law that have occurred with the implementation of the America Invents Act.

Registration for the APLS is limited so that this program may be conducted in an advantageously small seminar format. The 2011 seminar included participants from Argentina, Belgium, China, Japan, Korea, Taiwan and the United States.

In addition to the academic experience, BSKB strives to help our foreign participants enjoy, appreciate and experience the American way of life and culture. Our participants are afforded the opportunity to explore not only that which Washington, DC has to offer, but we also encourage our participants to take the opportunity to learn about the other cultures represented among our APLS participants. Many friendships and business relationships are made during the course of the program and last long after the program concludes.

To encourage those relationships, BSKB arranges several evening activities throughout the course of the program. These activities include not only an opening "getting to know you" dinner and a closing banquet and graduate ceremony, but also a cultural event in Washington, DC, and a weekend retreat in the beautiful mountains of western Maryland.

The 2012 Advanced Patent & Licensing Seminar will be held Tuesday, October 9 through Friday, October 19, 2012. The 2012 brochure will be available in early 2012, and registration will begin with the release of the brochure. Please see the 2011 brochure for more details. Graduates of the Summer Patent Seminar and other similarly qualified applicants are invited to attend.
