DOUGLAS NEMEC: Welcome back, everybody. We'll get started with the first plenary session of the day. We're going to spend the next hour talking about litigation involving non-practicing entities, or patent-assertion entities, or patent trolls-- whatever term you prefer. When I started practicing-- it really wasn't all that long ago, in the 1990s-- these terms really didn't exist. Patent troll was a really unattractive patent lawyer, and a non-practicing ...

We're going to give you an actual claim construction hearing conducted by two very, very experienced trial lawyers. And I want you all to keep in mind the issue they're presenting to you.

JOHN SHAW: Thanks Tom. And good morning everyone. I've been doing this eight or nine years now, I guess, and when Tom called this winter, my first question was similar to what he started with today. Why after 16 years of Markman is the history of this case, the evolution of the case law, still relevant and important to a practitioner today? And the more basic question was, if I can't figure out why it is, maybe I should decline doing this or come ...

PETER BROWN: Ready? OK, we had a quick change. And we're ready to go. You never have to know anything about patent law, until it hits your client. And then you've all of a sudden got to be an expert on patent law. And the typical way that these issues arise is you're happily working at your corporate office. And the general counsel or the CEO of the company gets a nasty letter from an entity that they've never heard of who says if they own a patent ...

JOHN M. WHITE: OK. Good afternoon. It's 1:30. It's time for us to resume our program this afternoon. We begin with a discussion of 102(f) and (g). And then we segue without interruption. We do another seamless transition up here not directly into 103 and the CAFC with specific focus on cases that are collected at the CAFC from district court cases. Earlier in the day we talked about 103 and its gestation at the patent office through guidelines and ...

JOHN M. WHITE: Welcome back. It is now the afternoon session. And again, just to be mindful, we're recording and transmitting this around the web. And so we'll stick right to the time schedule. But don't let that interrupt your need to get some coffee, stretch your legs, that sort of thing. But for us, we're recording. So we'll stick to it. And so we begin the afternoon. Now, the afternoon kicks off with a look at old 102(f) and 102(g) and how it ...

Released on: Dec. 19, 2012

Continuous changes in the legal and technical landscape make it critical for IP, technology and business lawyers to keep abreast of the legal and technical issues presented by the open source paradigm. “Open source” software, which is freely available in the form of operating systems, applications, utility code and programming tools, presents an attractive option. However, use of such software can also expose a company to unexpected and ...

JOSEPH YANG: So with that as a brief introduction, let me dive right into the first talk on patent and technology licensing. For those of you that are interested in following along, my slides are in the handbook on page 485, page 485. It's interesting that patent and technology licensing are almost always grouped together in CLE conferences because they are close cousins. After all, patents were designed to protect technology, but they're also very ...

From the program: Understanding the Intellectual Property License 2012

Released on: Dec. 24, 2012

Licensing offers valuable economic and strategic opportunities. Companies are increasingly turning to licensing to gain access to intellectual property at a lower cost than developing or purchasing intellectual property assets, and as a way of generating new sources of revenue out of existing intellectual property assets. Virtually every business today must confront licensing issues. A solid base of knowledge about licensing of intellectual property ...

Please note that CLE credit is not available for this program. The Patent Bar Exam is an Exam with a historically low pass rate (though our students do very well!). We recommend 150-200 hours of preparation for the Exam, over about 2 months, ideally. So it's probably best to start thinking about it soon if you want to get it over before Patent Reform makes is potentially MUCH more difficult next fall. Our course has been updated to cover all of ...

MARTA GROSS: OK. Welcome back after the break. We're on the last portion of the program. As you've now all learned all about what a patent is, patent prosecution, how to obtain patents, and a little bit about understanding-- I think what we've been trying to go through in a lot of this is the value of patents, first of all, how much the investment is into the patent in general and obtaining it. And as a company, looking at your own patents and obtaining ...
