Knowing when a patent or patent application you or your client owns has been used in a 102 novelty rejection for another application presents obvious strategic benefits. Join Gene Quinn, founder of IPWatchdog.com, on Thursday, October 26, 2017, to discuss the strategic prosecution, litigation and due diligence uses of “forward rejections.” Joining him will be patent attorney Bernard Tomsa, a partner with Brooks Kusham, to discuss the patent litigation and prosecution strategies. Also on the panel will be Kent Richardson, a business attorney and patent valuation expert who has represented LinkedIn and others, to discuss due diligence and the implication the strategies discussed could have on overall patent and portfolio value.

A multitude of changes to patent law and practice have altered the face of patent litigation in America. From patent venue decisions in district courts that seem to be inconsistent with TC Heartland, to Indian Tribes acquiring patents and asserting sovereign immunity, the patent enforcement and defense landscape has changed dramatically over the past few months. Amidst these changing times, please join Gene Quinn for a free webinar webinar discussion – Hot Topics in Patent Litigation – on Thursday, October 12, 2017, at 12pm ET. Gene will be joined by former ITC Commissioner F. Scott Kieff and Keith Grady, Chair of IP and Technology Litigation at Polsinelli.

I will host a free webinar on Monday, July 10, 2017 at 12pm ET. The title of our discussion is Combating Repeat Infringers, but we will address the issue of counterfeits from top to bottom. Joining me for this webinar will be Maysa Razavi, heading of Anti-Counterfeiting for INTA, Anthony Lo Cicero, a litigator with 40 years of experience relating to trademark enforcement and brand protection, and Joan Porta the Brand Protection Manager for Red Points. We will explore the magnitude of the problem, solutions for dealing with infringers in an online environment, and how if necessary to escalate enforcement to take the fight to Customs and into the courtroom if necessary.

It is now truer than ever that patent drafters must treat every invention as the million dollar, or billion dollar, invention from the start. By the time you realize the invention warrants that level of attention it will be too late to do anything, that is unless you laid the foundation of a solid patent application from the earliest stages. This means an extraordinarily detailed specification, it means thoughtful application of as much known prior art as possible, and it means checking and cross-checking to make sure that initial filing is as complete and error-free as possible.

Whether you are managing an in-house patent portfolio, engaged in M&A deals involving IP assets, or a startup looking to secure funding, this webinar is for you. It is designed to help you optimize the value of your IP portfolio and will highlight patent market trends and the key factors impacting IP valuations.

While calls for widespread patent reform are not as loud as they have been in previous years, 2017 is shaping up to be a year where we may still see significant change to U.S. patent laws. What will the changes to U.S. patent laws look like over the next year? The better question may be to first ask whether those anticipated changes will be coming from the judiciary, legislative or executive branch, all of which will take center stage at some point in 2017.

Join me on Thursday, January 26, 2017, at 12pm ET for a free webinar discussion that will focus on decision making for dealmakers. This free webinar will approach this material first from the lens of the dealmaker who needs to know that they have all the relevant information necessary to confidently assess value and close a deal. We will ask, and answer, the question about which information can prove to be most useful and why. We will then pivot the discussion to bring in data experts to discuss how they work to find that information and deliver it as actionable intelligence so that good decisions are made with good data.

In addition to taking as many questions from the audience as possible, we will: (1) Ask the question “how did we get here” and provide a business/tech perspective on the battle. (2) Provide a quick primer on design patents and the test for determining if there is infringement. (3) Discuss the positions taken by Apple, Samsung and the Solicitor General at the Supreme Court. (4) Make predictions regarding what the Supreme Court will ultimately decide.

I will be joined by Robert Schaffer and Joseph Robinson, partners at Troutman Sanders and co-authors of the Federal Circuit Review.
