SmartCompany

By Robert G. Kramer

Responding to international intellectual property claims is a legal minefield. Responding, not responding, and even discussing the suit internally can severely affect your likelihood of success.

This guide, written by Finnegan Special Counsel Robert Kramer, explains why the U.S. is the most likely place you’ll receive a legal letter from, and the nuance involved in responding to the first contact.

  • The common methods used to try and set your court obligations in unfavourable districts; and
  • The questions you need to ask of your lawyer to understand your exposure.
