*CLE Rule Update: The New Jersey CLE Board has revoked the Covid exception and reinstated the Live CLE requirement in NJ effective 1/1/2024. Additionally, NJ has amended the CLE Regulations with BCLE Reg. 103:1(n) and expanded the definition of Live Instruction. Our Live Interactive webinars meet this definition of Live CLE in NJ. Therefore all NJ attorneys can satisfy their entire requirement with our Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.
Live Exemption: NJ rule 201:8(a) states that attorneys who reside in, work in, and are licensed in a mandatory CLE jurisdiction that does not require Live CLE are also exempt from Live CLE for NJ. These attorneys can take all 24 credits of their requirement with on-demand courses.

About This Course
The Supreme Court’s decision not to review Purdue Pharma L.P. v. Accord Healthcare, Inc. (No. 24-1132) leaves the Federal Circuit’s opinion (No. 2023-1953, Dec. 30, 2024) as the leading authority on the nexus requirement for objective indicia of non-obviousness. This CLE program revisits Purdue’s approach at both the trial and appellate levels, offering a close examination of how arguments on obviousness and secondary considerations were developed and received.
Participants will explore how the Federal Circuit’s decision reshapes evidentiary expectations and strategic planning in patent cases. The session concludes with practical guidance for practitioners aiming to strengthen their advocacy in both prosecution and litigation contexts under this evolving body of law.
