: Philip Brooks’ Patent Infringement UpdatesPatent Reexamination: The New Strategy for Litigating Infringement Claims
By Philip Brooks
Strafford Publications is hosting the above-titled webinar/teleconference with interactive Q&A on May 26, 2010.
This CLE webinar will provide guidance to patent litigators regarding common challenges that arise when using parallel patent reexaminations as a litigation tool. The panel will provide best practices for pursuing or defending patent litigation claims involving reexaminations.
Description
Patent reexamination filings are soaring. Companies accused of patent infringement are now fighting back by routinely asking the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (PTO) to reexamine the validity of the accuser?s original patent.
Reexaminations can be a driving factor in determining how a patent infringement case is ultimately resolved. When patent reexaminations are sought in the context of pending litigation, patent litigators must have an effective strategy in place to confront the unique issues associated with them.
Listen as our authoritative panel of patent attorneys identifies common challenges confronting patent litigators when using reexaminations as a litigation tactic. The panel will offer strategies for pursuing or defending patent litigation claims involving patent reexaminations.
