Practising Law Institute: Patent Litigation 2008

Patent litigation is very expensive, damage awards can be very large and business disruption is a critical risk. Rapid changes in patent law make it necessary, whether you are plaintiff or defendant counsel, to ensure that you are up-to-date on the current state of the law and on how to develop successful litigation strategies and tactics. Patent litigation is a potent tool to protect patents. Damage awards, attorney fees and associated costs can easily run into millions of dollars, potentially closing business operations overnight.

This course is taught by a faculty of judges and lawyers who have earned national reputations in patent litigation by trying a wide variety of bench and jury patent trials, and provides comprehensive coverage of every phase of a patent lawsuit.

David Cross will be the speaker on the subject of "Discovery Issues in Patent Litigation."
