Event Synopsis: Manufacturers constantly compete with one another in creating the best looking and most unique products in today's cutthroat market environment. Design patent enables them to protect their products' new and unique design from infringement. It also allows patent holders' collection of the total profits accrued by an infringing design. With the continuous changes in patent laws, patent holders and applicants need to keep themselves abreast with the various trends affecting design patent damages. One development is the Supreme Court's issuance of an important ruling concerning calculation of design patent damages. On Dec. 6, 2016, the Court released its Samsung v. Apple ruling, which held that § 289 damages may not be calculated using the infringing end product's total profits. The Court further held that the relevant article of manufacture for profit determination could be the commercialized end product's component. In this LIVE Webcast, a panel of thought leaders brought together by The Knowledge Group will analyze the implications of Samsung v. Apple ruling. The speakers will also provide the audience with an in-depth discussion of the recent trends and developments shaping the Design Patent Damages landscape. Key topics include: · Design Patent Law – Current State · Recent Trends and Developments · Impact of Samsung v. Apple · Scope of "Article of Manufacture" · Weakened Design Patent Damages Clause? · Best Practices for Design Patent Holders and Applicants · Outlook for Design Patent Calculations About The Knowledge Group, LLC/The Knowledge Congress Live Webcast Series The Knowledge Group was established with the mission to produce unbiased, objective, and educational live webinars that examine industry trends and regulatory changes from a variety of different perspectives.
