Practical Tips on Enforcing and Defending Patents
Intellectual property law is a complex prac-tice area requiring
a broad array of skills. The Practical Tips program is designed
to enhance these skills and enable IP practi-tioners to handle the
many tasks that rou-tinely arise in this increasingly important
area of practice. Unlike programs that deal principally with cutting-edge
issues and recent court decisions, the Practical Tips program features
top professionals from the IP field who provide practical advice
on dealing with the "nuts and bolts" of every day IP practice.
For the sixth year, the Practical Tips program is being spon-sored
by the Young Lawyers Committee of the ABA Section of Intellectual
Property Law, this session in cooperation with the San Diego County
Bar Association Intellectual Property Section and the San Diego
Intellectual Property Law Association.
This particular Practical Tips program focuses on the enforcement
and defense of patents in court. As a special benefit to those attending
the program, a number of "model" documents typically used
in patent litigation will be made available for future reference
and possible adaptation for later use. These documents have been
prepared by some of the nation's leading patent litiga-tion attorneys
and cover a wide variety of subjects in-cluding: litigation checklists,
sample discovery requests, protective orders, case management orders,
jury instruc-tions, and trial/appellate papers.
