Event Synopsis:

Many business owners believe that a patent provides complete protection against infringement. This is far from the truth. Patent infringement occurs when another party makes, uses, or sells a patented item without the permission of the patent holder. The patent holder may choose to sue the infringing party and to ask for compensation for the unauthorized use. Since intellectual property is governed by federal law, the patent holder must sue the unauthorized party in federal court within 6 years of the infringement.

Challenges often relate to alleged invalidity of the patent; including inadequate or fraudulent registration, lack of novelty and lack of obviousness, or a patent derived from anti-competitive activities.

In a two hour CLE course, The Knowledge Group has assembled a panel of key thought leaders and professionals to provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the fundamentals, current litigation updates, and  best practices to Prove Damages in Patent, Trademark, and Copyright Cases.

Key topics include:

§  Patent Litigation: Over-view

§  Patent, Trademark and Copyright Cases – An Update

§  Infringement Remedies

§  Recent Trends in Litigation

§  Determining Damages in IP

§  New Regulatory Developments
