Complex IP Licensing Conference

Pittsburgh Intellectual Property shareholder Lynn A. Alstadt will make a presentation at the Complex IP Licensing Conference on the topic of KSR v. Teleflex and KSR's challenge to the Federal Circuit's 20-year-old teaching/suggestion/motivation (TSM) test for obviousness in favor of a more restrictive test that would make it harder to obtain a patent.
