Join us for the third annual Patent Litigation Masters™ 2023 program, presented by IPWatchdog®, at the IPWatchdog Studios –  located at 20098 Ashbrook Place, Suite 100, Ashburn VA 20147.

This program will focus on patent litigation in the United States. We will explore litigation in the most active federal district courts in the country and appeals to the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. We will also take a look at special issues of importance, including damages, patent eligibility, venue,  injunctions and more. If it happens as a part of litigating patents in the U.S., we will cover it as a part of this program.

Improving and Streamlining Patent Enforcement in America

It has been an interesting past 12 years for U.S. patent litigation. With passage of the America Invents Act (AIA) the industry was told that the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) would provide a cheaper alternative to patent infringement litigation. Instead, what we have seen since passage of the AIA is a PTAB process that is typically the opening…

Patent Litigation Funding: Evaluating and Formulating Assertion and Monetization Strategies

Over the last several years we have seen the return of large patent infringement verdicts, and verdicts that have also enhanced damages for willful infringement. These verdicts have not gone unnoticed by by patent litigation financiers and patent litigators who represent patent owners. How is this landscape changing the way patent owners are evaluating and formulating assertion and monetization strategies?…

Texas vs. the United States: The Current State of Venue Law and Why it Matters

The decision of where patent litigation occurs is often fundamental to the outcome of cases, and certainly determinative with respect to rulings within a case ranging from motions to dismiss to disclosure requirements and everything in between. But the demise of patent litigation in Texas has been greatly exaggerated. While during 2022 the Federal Circuit embarked upon a path that…

Using the ITC as Part of a Larger Patent Litigation Strategy

Patent owners are increasingly considering more complex strategies when pursuing implementers. While traditional approaches often include domestic filings at the United States International Trade Commission (ITC), companion district court case or multi-district filings do considerably increase leverage. Some patent owners also increasingly pursue a worldwide enforcement campaign when stakes are particularly high. Resorting to a full court press that leverages…
