USPTO to host maiden cybersecurity meeting

The US Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) will host its first cybersecurity meeting designed to help those looking to obtain patent protection in the cyber network industry sectors.

The event, to be held next month, will see the office partner with the National Institute of Standards and Technology, which will present information on its framework for improving infrastructure in cybersecurity.

USPTO staff will also discuss cybersecurity patent initiatives and examination guidelines for patent-eligible subject matter following the Alice Corp v CLS Bank decision at the US Supreme Court.

The meeting will be held on November 14 at the USPTO’s Silicon Valley office.

Attendance is free, but registration is required.

More information is available on the USPTO’s website.
