Presenter:
Professor Toshiko Takenaka
Presentation Outline:
JAT is pleased to welcome Professor Toshiko Takenaka (Keio University Law School, Washington University Law School, and an Of Counsel at Seed IP Group)—an expert on U.S., Japanese, and European patent laws and comparative law—as our speaker for the April TAC/Patent joint event. She will introduce the basics of U.S. patent law as well as trends in U.S. patent cases, will also go into detail about certain strategies for drafting effective patent claims and specifications, and explain pitfalls to avoid when translating for filing in the U.S.
Good patent translation is not only about linguistic skills; it calls for legal knowledge as well. At this seminar, you can pick up translation tips based on the statutes and case law.
This seminar will be highly informative for translators with or without experience in the patent field and also for patent practitioners involved in translation. There will be time for Q&A at the end of the presentation.
A networking event will be held after the seminar (see below for details).
