PatentOptimizer™ was created by patent attorneys who were looking for a new, more efficient approach to both developing internally consistent, well-tailored patent applications and online analysis of existing patents. The result? A tool that can help you more effectively do your work by automatically:

• Checking and Comparing Claims—check antecedent basis; identify terms or phrases exclusive to the claims or description; quickly research specific claim elements in the prior art and capture/associate prior art reference data into an auto-generated claim hierarchy; pinpoint new or deleted matter across a series of patent documents; detect new and deleted matter appearing in the claims or specification of a defined set of documents; and match claim set language across a series of documents
• Checking Terms—uncover, retrieve, and validate cases that have defined key terms in your document; identify prior art usage in other patents; find narrower, broader, or related alternate terms; detect and report terms from user-provided dictionaries; and auto-generate custom glossaries
• Checking References—view a comprehensive post-issuance activity report for cited patents (with Microsoft® Excel® export capabilities); retrieve related case dockets from CourtLink®; order pertinent file wrappers from REEDFAX®; export patent references into IDS forms (including EFS-Web form); and link to relevant entries in the USPTO PAIR system
• Checking Parts—check the accuracy and consistency of your reference figures and related numbers/labels; correct inconsistencies with flexible document-editing capabilities; auto-insert part numbers into parts appearing in the abstract, claims or description; and utilize short hand notations for reciting parts while drafting

Failure to accurately complete, maintain and store Form I-9, and to verify the identity and employment documents of each new hire, poses a serious financial risk for employers. Even clerical errors such as failure to sign or date the Form I-9 carry stiff fines that can quickly add up to thousands of dollars.

Special laws concerning employer sanctions have been put in place and the employer remains the target for enforcement and the entity most responsible for stopping undocumented workers from coming into the U.S. workforce. This has put a huge burden on some employers, who must choose to downsize their businesses, lose key workers, or face serious criminal charges or bankruptcy because of steep fines. Because all enforcement is selective, those choosing to comply with the law are doing so on an unfair playing field when competing with noncompliant employers who have not been targeted. It puts employers who try to comply with the law at a huge disadvantage in the marketplace; they are hiring and training U.S. workers, while providing dishonest employers with an advantage.

Author/attorney Ann Allot, who has been involved in many high profile cases, will guide the audience through her carefully detailed "compliance system." During this 20-minute Webinar, you'll gain the benefit of her expertise in dealing with enforcement cases with coverage that includes:
• Step-by-step guidance on all I-9 compliance procedures;
• Helpful illustrations and practice pointers from the author, a highly experienced immigration compliance attorney;
• Filled-in forms and examples of common pitfalls and errors to avoid;
• Appendices containing valuable reference material , including checklists, sample agreements and notices;
• Concrete solutions to the problems including a detailed "compliance program."
