Your chances of success in patent infringement litigation can be determined by actions you take long before the litigation begins. Advanced preparation and strategic planning among business leaders, technical and regulatory personnel, inside counsel, and outside counsel can be essential to position your company for a successful outcome.
Please join us for practical, real-world tips on things you can do now to maximize your chances of success in future litigation. We will also discuss new options available under the America Invents Act (AIA) that may impact or potentially allow you to avoid infringement litigation. Topics will include:
- Using best practices to obtain patent claims that maximize your chances of proving patent infringement and defending against patentability challenges;
- Investigating the potential issues, important documents, and major players that will provide key information during discovery and at trial;
- Developing litigation themes to ensure that the litigation proceeds on the correct path;
- Coordinating company communications to ensure that representations are accurate and consistent with the company’s litigation positions; and
- Using proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office to strengthen your portfolio or to avoid potentially expensive and disruptive litigation.
