JOHN WHITE: Now I get to introduce Rebecca and the next topic. But I told you, Ben brings passion to 102(g), and for that reason alone it's a shame that it's gone. Because it's such a fun topic. Our next topic is 103, as seen through the lens of district court, and importantly, CAFC decisions. And the reason we look at 103 from all angles, and indeed all of prior art from all angles, is it matters. The patent office takes one view and the CAFC helps ...

KAREN BALLACK: OK. We're going to get started here, now that we have Mr. Valetti up here to join me. I have the pleasure of speaking this morning with Mark Valetti, who is Senior Patent Counsel at Texas Instruments. Although his title is Senior Patent Counsel, don't let that fool you. He has experience in a number of different areas within TI's legal department. Mark has been with TI for over 23 years, and during that period of time, he has prosecuted ...

TARIQ MUNDIYA: Well, thank you. KAREN N. BALLACK: Thank you, Tariq. OK. Tariq's presentation actually leads very nicely into my presentation, which is focused on acquiring and selling off intellectual property. And much of what Tariq shared with us today about identifying, managing, organizing your intellectual property portfolio is very important as a company moves forward in determining whether there is the right opportunity and the right time ...

KIERAN DOYLE: We're into the home stretch. For the next hour, what we'll be hearing about is trademark prosecution. And I guess there's three perspectives, at least three perspectives on trademark prosecution. There's the brand-owners' perspective. There's the practitioners' perspective, and there's the perspective of the examining attorney, the PTO perspective. And our next two speakers will be able to shed light from all three perspectives. Tricia ...

SHELDON H. KLEIN: Now you're in for real treat. You're going to hear from Allison Strickland about advanced US trademark prosecution practice. Allison is a partner at the firm of Fross Zelnick Lehrman & Zissu, where she's practiced exclusively in the area of trademarks and trademark prosecution for 16 years. She received her undergraduate degree from the University of Alabama, and her law degree from Columbia Law School, where she was a Harlan ...

JOSE A. ESTEVES: OK. We're going to go ahead and get started with the afternoon portion of the program. [SIDE CONVERSATION] JOSE A. ESTEVES: Yes. [SIDE CONVERSATION] JOSE A. ESTEVES: All right. So we've got the first of three panels of the afternoon program. And in this panel we're going to have presentations exploring new and emerging models related to patent monetization. And we have four speakers lined up for you. Our first is Cheryl Malone. ...

Recorded on: Oct. 23, 2012

MARK S. HOLMES: Thank you, John, and welcome back. To me this is the most enjoyable parts of the whole program. And I want to thank our panelists we're going to introduce now for appearing. On my far left is Winston Henderson. He's a vice president and general counsel at NanoTerra, a Boston-based nanotechnology company with life science and non-life science divisions. Before that, he was at Surface Logix, which is a biopharmaceutical and drug development ...

JOSEPH YANG: [UNINTELLIGIBLE] for those of you in this room, we are going to be doing the walk through of a technology license agreement. And the materials are in your book starting on page, Marc? MARC P. SCHUYLER: 617. JOSEPH YANG: 617. We're honored to have two speakers on our panel today. To my far right is Mark Holmes. Mark is the CEO of PatentBridge LLC, which is a privately held technology development and licensing firm in Silicon Valley. ...

MARTA GROSS: All right, welcome back, everyone. And so now we're going to move into the next module of the three modules that we're doing today. As I mentioned to you this morning when I was giving the overview, this is the module where what we're planning on doing is I'm going to give probably a 15 or 20 minute background on what I call patent landscape. Which is going to go into some scenarios where you might have your patent attorney do some analysis ...

Recorded on: Jun. 30, 2010

LEONARD T. NUARA: OK, folks. Welcome back. For those of you that are coming back. For those that are at home, put the phone down, put the paper down. Time to pay attention again. We're going to talk about contracting for cloud computing services. I'm going to moderate a discussion with Todd Machtmes and Mark Radcliffe. We have some slides. There were some slides that were posted last night so you should be able to find the slides. Those here in the ...

GARY HNATH: OK. Welcome back. Thank you for coming back. Thank you for joining the afternoon session. My name is Gary Hnath. And I'll be speaking later on this afternoon about litigation of patent cases at the ITC. But right now, I'd like to introduce the next speaker, who needs no introduction because he's already been introduced. But you're going to be treated to having what I consider to be the best speaker on patent law on this planet and also ...

Recorded on: Jun. 13, 2011

IAN N. FEINBERG: So it's 4 o'clock. We're on the home stretch. We're going to talk about the anatomy and timeline for a district court patent infringement case. We'll move fairly quickly. But before doing that, I just want to touch on damages because I know we haven't really focused on them as much as we should. So under the patent statute, a patentee is entitled to all damages caused by the infringement, but not less than a reasonable royalty. Under ...

Recorded on: Jun. 6, 2013

IAN N. FEINBERG: Welcome back. We have a slight change in plans, and the change in plans occurred about 90 seconds ago. So we're going to do the anatomy and timeline for a district court patent infringement case. Hopefully, our speaker for Markman will come later. These programs are interchangeable in terms of which comes first. In many ways, maybe this one should have gone first. But that's what we're going to do. So as much as Josh talked to you, ...

Recorded on: Dec. 12, 2012

JOSEPH YANG: Thanks, Bob. Lots of great practical tips about the licensing in Europe. So one of last topics that Bob mentioned was competition law. That's the European term for antitrust law. So that's actually a perfect segue into our next segment. And Jose Esteves, to my right, is going to be speaking to us on antitrust law. Jose is a partner at Skadden, Arps, Meagher & Flom-- and my old colleague-- in its New York office, where he focuses ...

Recorded on: Apr. 3, 2013

ROBERT GREENE STERNE: Well, welcome again, and now we're going to be addressing the very important subject of appeals from the Board to the Federal Circuit, something that I think a lot of us are woefully deficient in our appreciation of the task at hand, and we need to get up to speed on this very important piece of the puzzle. So as we start this panel discussion, first of all, let me introduce John Dragseth, who is our other faculty member, in ...

SPEAKER 1: The last leg-- Alida Camp. ALIDA CAMP: It's probably the end of a long day, but this is a bit different. What I'm here to do is try to encourage you to use mediation and arbitration as alternatives to litigation in not only copyright, but really any disputes. But it makes a lot of sense in copyright. Is it always appropriate? No. But do I think it's something that you ought to discuss with your clients with the parties to the case with ...

Recorded on: Apr. 24, 2013

RICHARD DANNAY: OK. Welcome back. I hope everyone had a good lunch. We have a great panel for this afternoon. Unfortunately, the moderator's voice is barely in play, but I'm going to introduce all three of our speakers as I did in the morning. And then Simon will begin. To my right and our first speaker in the afternoon is Simon Frankel, who is a litigation partner in the San Francisco office of Covington & Burling and chair of his firm's intellectual ...

JOHN DELANEY: OK, we're back. A couple of housekeeping matters. As I mentioned at the beginning, we look forward to your feedback. Let us know what you like. Let us know about other topics that we can cover next year. We hope to have you back next year. So if you have thoughts about other issues you're seeing in your own practice that we haven't been able to touch upon in a day long conference, we'd love to hear about it. So please fill out the evaluation ...

SPEAKER 1: Multi-country Sourcing. I turn it over to Mike and Ross. ROSS E. McKEAN: Well, thank you everyone. I'll make a start for this session. And in terms of what we're trying to cover at the part two, we're going to do a deeper dive into what non-US laws that can derail sourcing, process and deadlines. And there are lots of laws that can derail sourcing, process, and deadlines. So I'm going to pick two which tend to be the more problematic, ...

Recorded on: Nov. 4, 2011

JOHN F. DELANEY: OK. Welcome to day two of the PLI Outsourcing Conference. And we're going to kick it off this morning with a presentation on avoiding missteps in multi-country outsourcing. And we're very fortunate to have two of the leading experts in this area to speak to us on this subject. It's going to be a co-presentation. Sitting immediately to Bill's right is Michael Mensik. Michael is one of the co-chairs of this program. He's also a partner ...

Recorded on: Nov. 8, 2010

JOHN DELANEY: We're having a few minor technical difficulties with the PowerPoints, but I'm going to do the introductions. And I think we'll have everything fixed shortly. So the next topic. Welcome back. I hope everyone had a nice lunch session. We're back. We're going to talk about bankruptcy issues in connection with outsourcing. Even if you're not reading the papers, we're in the middle of a huge global recession. And hopefully, we're paying ...

DR. LOTHAR DETERMANN: So welcome back everybody to the IP and business transactions program. We're going to go from worse to worst. We've just talked about taxes and now we're going into bankruptcy. But it's certainly something very important and something that with every transaction at the outside needs to be planned for. I have the great honor to introduce David Kennedy here, who is a rare breed in that he started out as a bankruptcy lawyer and ...

Recorded on: Feb. 23, 2012

LOTHAR DETERMANN: So, welcome back, everybody, to our program, IP Issues in Business Transactions. And following the exciting, fascinating topic of taxes, the only thing that could really top that is going to be bankruptcy. And we have a speaker here with Dave Kennedy, who is not only a bankruptcy expert, but also has a considerable amount of IP licensing and commercial expertise, and can help bridge both worlds. David has spoken at this program ...
