IAN BALLON: Welcome back. The next two segments are going to be combined into one. They're both presentations dealing with defense perspectives. The first part is case law and trends from a defense perspective, and the second part is the in-house counsel panel. But we thought it actually would be interesting to combine the two. So we're going to talk about the cases and the trends and intersperse the presentation with panel discussions. And for the ...

Recorded on: Mar. 4, 2013

LOTHAR DETERMANN: With this introduction, I will hand over to our first panel. Carla did already a great job introducing the two. Karen and Mark have worked together on matters. And if you look through Karen's bio in the handout materials, you'll see that Karen impersonates this intersection of intellectual property and business transaction in her practice, advising companies both on the IP heavy side of things, and then also how these things are ...

SCOTT: Welcome back, everybody. We're going to get started so we can get everybody to lunch on time. So the next module is focusing on discovery, which is a new component of these PTAB mechanisms. There was, as we all learned recently thanks to the federal circuit case last week, there's certainly no discovery in inter partes reexamination.

JOHN DELANEY: I think we're back. Next topic up is drafting and updating social media policies and guidelines. And one thing I will say. So much has happened in this area of the law since we last met a year ago that I can say with quite some confidence that, if your company hasn't updated its social media policy or guidelines in the past year, they're probably out of date, just because so much has happened in this area. And we're very fortunate to ...
