The program is primarily directed to strategies and considerations for offensive intellectual property assertion programs, including expert guidance for pursuing enforcement actions in the most popular venues. Our team of specialists will provide advice on building a case, and updates on the latest developments at the International Trade Commission, U.S. District Courts (including the Western District of Texas) and the Patent Trial & Appeal Board.
Of course, the best defense is what makes the best offense, and therefore the program will also cover defenses to such assertion claims, both so that they can be anticipated in an offensive case and so that they can be used in actions brought by third-parties. The defensive analysis will include the latest strategies for invalidating patents, as well as the potential for antitrust issues, both as a defense raised by the infringer and also as an affirmative monetization tool.
