Join Kilpatrick’s Matias Ferrario for a case-driven presentation on ethics in patent practice before the USPTO. This session navigates the role of the Office of Enrollment and Discipline, the rules governing patent practitioners, and key trends in disciplinary actions. Attendees will examine recent OED decisions and learn practical strategies for avoiding common pitfalls involving client communication, diligence, conflicts, supervision of non-practitioners, signatures, trust-account management, and the responsible use of artificial intelligence.

CLE Credit
To meet MCLE regulators’ attendance verification requirements for sponsors you must answer the poll questions during the program.
MCLE credit approval is pending. Credit generally is submitted, or certificates issued, within 60 days of post-program approval. CLE approval can take up to 90 days.
Kilpatrick Townsend & Stockton LLP will apply for CLE credit when eligible in California, Colorado, Georgia, Illinois, New York, North Carolina, Ohio, Texas, Virginia, and Washington. For states not listed, a Certificate of Attendance that lawyers may use to claim credit based on reciprocity or self-apply for credit will be provided.
We recommend you complete the program in one format only (live or on-demand) since many states do not allow attorneys to earn live and on-demand credit for the same program in the same compliance period. Virtual participation or on-demand credit is not eligible in PA.
