Intellectual property law is a complex practice area requiring a broad array of skills. The Practical Tips program is designed to enhance these skills and enable IP practitioners to handle the many tasks that routinely 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 everyday IP practice. For the seventh year, the Practical Tips program is being sponsored by the Young Lawyers Committee of the ABA Section of Intellectual Property Law; this session is in cooperation with Suffolk University Law School and the Boston Patent 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 litigation attorneys and cover a wide variety of subjects including: litigation checklists, sample discovery requests, protective orders, case management orders, jury instructions, and trial/appellate papers.
