Karl's session, scheduled for Wednesday, May 11^th at 9:15 a.m.,  is titled "Legal Analytics for PTAB: Using Data-Driven Insights into PTAB Trials and District Court Cases to Set IP Litigation Strategy." Karl will discuss how to use Legal Analytics to supplement traditional legal research and reasoning to make data-driven decisions about dispute resolution strategy. Attendees will learn how data about judges, parties, law firms, attorneys, patents, case outcomes and trends can inform early case assessment, outside counsel selection, choice of venue, case budget and day-to-day tactics for better litigation outcomes.

"PTAB is now a critical piece of any patent litigation strategy, and a critical piece of any District Court Strategy itself, especially for defendants," said Owen Byrd, Chief Evangelist and General Counsel at Lex Machina. "If you are involved in any District Court patent litigation, you have to consider the possibility of PTAB being used as a venue to challenge the validity of the patent at issue in the case."
