Patent Owner v. Accused Infringer: Litigation and PTAB Strategies for Both Sides of the "v."

Post-grant review proceedings have been a game changer when it comes to patent litigation strategy.  Most patent infringement cases today involve not only a district court or the International Trade Commission, but also the Patent Trial and Appeal Board.  Before bringing suit, patent owners must be prepared to respond to one or more petitions challenging the asserted patent, and accused infringers must carefully consider defensive and offensive strategies to avoid moves in one venue that may hamstring positions in another. 

To illustrate the interplay of litigation and PTAB strategies when bringing or facing infringement allegations, our panelists will team up to discuss patent owner and accused infringers considerations and they will respond to hypothetical fact patterns.
