Tel Aviv, Israel
IPResources, Ltd.
This course is designed to help Israeli in-house patent counsel, patent attorneys, legal advisors and management understand the process and achieve their goals in U.S. patent infringement litigation.
Long before a suit begins, the actions of in-house counsel can have a direct impact on the outcome. The course addresses best practices for responding to and sending warning letters, and discusses negotiation tactics that can help avoid litigation.
In a chronological manner, the course will explain each step of the patent litigation process from pre-suit strategies, to the “Markman” claim construction stage, through the appeal process. In addition, it will provide helpful tips on what in-house counsel, patent attorneys and legal advisors can do in advance and during the process to achieve success at each stage.
The course will examine the relative costs of the various phases of litigation and will review cost-saving measures, such as the summary judgment process, which can enable dispute resolution.
