Two pending bills, PERA of 2025 (Patent Eligibility Restoration Act of 2025) and RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025*, have the potential to dramatically impact the IP and business world.As courts, innovators, and investors continue to wrestle with the boundaries of what subject matter is considered patent eligible, with PERA 2025, Congress would significantly modify US law related to patent subject-matter eligibility under 35 U.S.C. § 101.Additionally, with the RESTORE Patent Rights Act, Congress would dramatically impact injunctive relief in patent cases by creating a rebuttable presumption that courts should grant a permanent injunction against an infringer and overturning the current four-factor test established by the Supreme Court in eBay v. MercExchange.Although both bills are still pending and have not been formally adopted, this seminar provides a great opportunity to learn about the basics and details of each proposed legislative reform and to gain insights into how Japanese companies can position themselves to adjust global IP strategies.<blockquote>* RESTORE Patent Rights Act of 2025 (Realizing Engineering, Science, and Technology Opportunities by Restoring Exclusive Patent Rights Act of 2025)</blockquote> Please Note:*This is a free event, but registration is required.*This is a hybrid event (offered both in-person and online).You are currently viewing the online attendee's registration page.(If you intend to participate in-person, kindly register using the following link:<a href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-persontransforming-us-ip-law-tickets-1972873989210?aff=oddtdtcreator" title="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/in-persontransforming-us-ip-law-tickets-1972873989210?aff=oddtdtcreator">In-Person Participation Registration Link </a>) Date[U.S.] Wednesday, December 10th from 16:30-18:00 (PST) / 19:30-21:00 (EST)[Japan] Thursday, December 11th from 9:30-11:00 Schedule16:30 - 18:00: Seminar and Q&amp;A (19:30-21:00 (EST), 9:30-11:00(Japan)) Speaker:Mauricio Uribe, Partner, Davis Wright Tremaine LLP Speaker’s Profile:Mauricio UribeMauricio Uribe is a strategic advisor to companies at the forefront of technology and innovation, leveraging three decades of industry-recognized experience in intellectual property law.
