Pedersen of Patterson Thuente Pedersen, P.A., will lead you through a discussions of transition applications- what they are, how they are created, and what they can mean to your prosecution practice and litigation strategy.  The effective dates of claimed subject matter in transition applications can affect which prior art law - pre-AIA law or post-AIA together with pre-AIA 35 U.S.C. 102(g) - governs an application. An evaluation of the patentability of claims in a transition application or patent can produce different results depending on which of the laws applies.
