Overview

In today’s global markets, it is critical that companies protect their IP not just in the U.S. but in all jurisdictions. However, the differences between litigation and adversarial patent procedures in Asia and the U.S. are significant, and can impact the effectiveness of overseas litigation unless they are recognized and adapted to. This presentation provides tactical tips to U.S. companies on how to manage overseas litigation and will provide particular suggestions on how to manage IP litigation in Asia.   

Please join Douglas C. Doskocil (a U.S. patent litigator), of Goodwin Procter LLP, who will discuss: 

  • Purposes of managing Asian IP litigation, such as the importance of implementing consistent strategies across several jurisdictions, and interfacing with overseas counsel who have diverse backgrounds and experiences
  • Differences from U.S. litigation, including the existence of adversarial actions not available in the U.S., limitations in discovery, and the scope of appellate practice
  • Challenges specific to implementing an IP enforcement strategy in Asia, such as low success rates and government programs and other realities perceived to affect the fairness of Asian IP litigation involving foreign parties
