The Georgia Tech Library is the only USPTO Patent and Trademark Resource Center Library in Georgia. Because of this, the USPTO will visit Georgia Tech on October 9 to present a seminar on the First Inventor to File (FITF) provisions of the America Invents Act (AIA).

This seminar is free and open to the public.

In prosecuting patent applications according to the FITF provisions since 2013, the USPTO has recognized some complications in the administrative processes as well as a need for a better understanding of the FITF provisions. These seminars endeavor to remedy these difficulties.

The meeting will serve as an opportunity for USPTO subject matter experts and stakeholders to discuss the FITF provisions and updates since its implementation.

The event is free and open to the public; pre-registration is not required. The agenda is here: http://www.uspto.gov/aia_implementation/roadshow.jsp
