IP Litigation

Topics will include the latest developments in US Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) practice. We’ll cover recent decisions, evolving procedural trends, and strategic considerations for both petitioners and patent owners. Whether an attendee is actively engaged in PTAB proceedings or advising clients on potential challenges, this session will provide practical updates and key takeaways.

• District Court Update: Exploring the impact of recent PTAB policy and staffing changes on strategy where there is anticipated or co-pending district court litigation.
• In its second year of operation, the Unitary Patents Court (UPC) is proving to be a popular venue for patent litigation in Europe across industries. The substantive patent law is becoming clearer in areas such as inventive step and infringement by equivalents, and several recent cases have addressed controversial areas such as the availability of injunctions and extraterritorial jurisdiction. This seminar will identify the latest key developments to consider when formulating a European patent (or risk mitigation) strategy.
