Using Data to Prove Inventive Step at the EPO and USPTO

Partner Aisha Hasan will speak on the panel “Using Data to Prove Inventive Step at the EPO and USPTO” at AUTM’s 2026 Annual meeting.
The session will explore how post-filing data can support inventive step at the European Patent Office (EPO) and non-obviousness in the U.S., drawing on key EPO Board of Appeal decisions and emerging guidance from the Unified Patent Court, United States Patent & Trademark Office (USPTO), and U.S. courts. Attendees will gain practical strategies for drafting life sciences and biotech patents to improve grant success and strengthen applications for examination.
Partners Rory Pheiffer and Eric Williams will also attend the conference.
