Live Webcast on Recent Developments in Patent Infringement Damage Awards

May 18, 2010 - PRLog -- 2009 ushered in several interesting cases which indicate a significant shift in the thinking of the courts regarding patent infringement damages, and specifically, the entire market value rule. Damages awards have been reduced, reversed, or questioned on appeal. Going forward, the recent rulings may affect the desirability of evidence related to whether/how much the allegedly infringed patented feature drives demand and/or to its frequency of use by customers. The new atmosphere in IP litigation may also affect the valuation of patents for M&A and licensing purposes. Attorneys need to be in the know with respect to this hot topic in order to properly advise their clients.

The Knowledge Group is assembling a panel of key thought leaders and industry experts in a 2-hour live webcast to provide their insights on what you need to know about these developments in patent litigation.
