The Art of Patent Litigation: Skills, Strategy, and Storytelling that Win Patent Cases

View Session Speakers

Patent litigation is won through more than command of the law. The strongest advocates combine rigorous case strategy, technical fluency, persuasive storytelling, and disciplined execution from the earliest stages of a dispute through trial. They know how to identify the issues that will ultimately drive the case, translate complex technology into a clear and compelling narrative, and build credibility with judges, juries, clients, and opposing counsel.

This panel will explore the craft behind effective patent litigation, including case framing, witness preparation, expert strategy, written and oral advocacy, courtroom judgment, and the strategic decisions that shape outcomes long before trial. Panelists will discuss how successful litigators simplify without oversimplifying, adapt their approach to different forums and decision-makers, and develop an authentic advocacy style that is both persuasive and strategically effective.
