Key Decisions in IP Law and Their Impact on Your Practice: Therasense and i4i
July 12, 2011
Menlo Park
While Federal Circuit and U.S. Supreme Court decisions shape IP case law, they also have the potential to shift IP portfolio strategy. Some rulings have narrow impact, while others have broader implications that go beyond the courtroom. When key issues are decided, a comprehensive analysis is a must.
Please join our panelists as they discuss:
- Therasense Inc. v. Becton, Dickinson & Co.
• How much is needed to infer “specific intent”?
• What is the impact of the new “but-for materiality” test?
• Can inequitable conduct challenges remain viable
credibility challenges?
• What, if any, are the reasons to submit any information
to the USPTO?
• Is it necessary or even a desirable practice
to submit information from related applications,
litigations, or reexamination proceedings?
• Is there a reinforced disincentive to rely on
affidavit/declaration evidence during prosecution?
- Microsoft Corp. v. i4i Ltd. Partnership
• Why did the Supreme Court choose this case to
resolve the long-standing controversy over the
burden of proof for invalidity challenges?
• How did the majority and concurring opinions view
the controversy?
• How will the Court’s decision affect future cases?
