Patent Prosecution by David Boundy and Philip Furgang is an essential work that belongs on the desk of every attorney interested in obtaining the best patent possible for a client's business interests. With a highly practice-oriented approach that is both sophisticated and logical, the authors examine every aspect of patent prosecution, from the client's conception of the invention to application filing in the U.S. and foreign jurisdictions, negotiation with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) and patent issue and post-issue correction. Relevant statutes, rules and cases are discussed in relation to a particular task in the procedural flow. Patent Prosecution distils decades of high-level experience from two leading authorities on the subject, effectively giving readers access to a senior partner in the form of two comprehensive volumes.

David Boundy is Vice President and Assistant General Counsel for Intellectual Property at Cantor Fitzgerald in New York. Previously he was in private practice with Fish & Richardson, Shearman & Sterling, and Willkie Farr & Gallagher; in June, 2007, Mr. Boundy argued as the designated representative of 25 high technology companies at a White House regulatory review of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office's proposals to limit continuation practice and complexity of claims. Philip Furgang is a founding partner of Furgang & Adwar, where he concentrates his practice in patent, trademark, copyright, and unfair competition law.
