The presentation and accompanying video below generally concerns the procedures and rules for identifying whether or not patent applications are subject to the America Invents Act, commonly known as the AIA. It more specifically concerns the procedures and practices for US patent applications that were filed on or after the AIA’s implementation date of March 16, 2013, but claim priority  to patent applications filed before then, such as patent applications filed continuation, divisional, and/or continuation-in-part (CIP) patent applications. It describes the new rules concerning the timing and procedures for AIA transition applications. In addition, it discusses when and how to make Statements under Rules 55 or 78 to designate that the AIA’s First Inventor to File standard should apply to an AIA transition application.
