Getting Past the Conflict and Resolving Patent Infringement Disputes

Getting Past the Conflict and Resolving Patent Infringement Disputes

View Session Speakers

We all know the conventional wisdom says that “over 90% of cases settle.” While a few patent cases grab headlines and seem to be existential battles, that conventional wisdom holds in our world as well, and almost all cases resolve short of trial.

What positions a case for settlement on favorable terms? How can you plan to put your case in that position? At what point in a case should you try to settle? How do you account for risk and expense? What about the lure of seeking complete victory – and the risk of suffering complete loss? How do you value the intangible factors of distraction and emotion? What role should courts and private neutrals play in the settlement process?

These questions impact all of us. While the answers will differ widely depending on the case, the views of our expert panelists can guide you as you endeavor to understand the keys to getting past conflicts and disagreements to get to a mutually agreeable resolution.
