Patent Litigation Strategies Handbook, Second Edition gives both the "how-to" and the "why-to" of patent litigation, with specific, proven tactics for protecting clients' interests. Expert litigators provide practical, winning answers to questions such as, "Why sue in the first place?" "Should you consider ADR instead?" "What are your burdens of proof?" "What types of damages should you seek?" and more. This treatise provides discussion, analysis, and strategic reasoning behind every phase of patent infringement litigation, from initial client counseling through the filing of the notice of appeal.
Patent Litigation Strategies Handbook, Second Edition contains updated and expanded discussions and analyses of the most recent trends in patent litigation. For example, pharmaceutical patent cases are among the most litigious areas -- but only about 3 percent of all patent cases go to trial, while the number of ANDA cases being tried are significantly higher. This treatise also supplies winning strategies from some of the country's leading attorneys, from both a patent owner's and a challenger's point of view, and clarifies the confusion and controversy over claim construction that has followed the Federal Circuit's 1995 Markman decision by discussing procedural developments and pronouncements on claim construction and how to address them.
The 2009 Cumulative Supplement tracks the rapid pace of change in patent law being brought about by decisions of the courts and developments in the rules of patentable subject matter. Key topics include: ways to limit the scope of electronic discovery by setting reasonable limits on the scope of electronically stored information that will be incorporated into the court's scheduling order; invalidity issues of claim construction considered in a Markman hearing as discussed in Exxon Research & Eng'g Co. v. United States; and the substantive difference between the more stringent Seagate recklessness standard for willfulness and the old duty-of-care standard according to the Federal Circuit in Voda v. Cordis Corp.
The editors-in-chief of this treatise are Barry L. Grossman, of counsel at Foley & Lardner, Milwaukee, WI and Gary M. Hoffman, a partner in Dickstein Shapiro LLP, Washington, DC. The chapter authors represent a cross-section of the most skilled patent litigators in the U.S.
