CLE Webinar: Protecting the Product – Mapping Features to Patent Claims and Closing Coverage Gaps
A patent portfolio can look extensive on paper and still fail to protect the products and features that drive the business. Product designs evolve, components are reused across product lines, patents expire, and jurisdictional differences can leave commercially important innovations only partially protected – or not protected at all. Unless counsel systematically connects current product features to enforceable patent claims, these gaps may remain invisible until after a competitor exposes them – which will be too late.
Join us on Tuesday, October 13, at 12 PM ET. We will discuss a practical framework for building a feature-to-claim coverage map that identifies which product features are fully protected, partially protected, or unclaimed. Panelists will discuss how to account for product changes, shared components, expired rights, and jurisdictional limitations, as well as how to review existing specifications for continuation and additional filing opportunities.
Attendees will learn how to prioritize coverage gaps according to commercial importance, competitive exposure, and available filing options—and how to convert that analysis into an actionable roadmap for strengthening protection. The discussion will also address how to document the analysis and attorney review necessary to support sound, defensible portfolio decisions.
