Overview:
As the pace of innovation increases, a company's intellectual property becomes even more important. Determining how to stop competitors from copying time-consuming and costly R&D projects can be a challenging process. This presentation will explore the benefits and distinctions between patents and trade secrets, including examples of what patent claims cover. Litigation options to enforce patents and trade secrets will then be discussed. Finally, the speakers will share strategies to deal with cease-and-desist letters and patent trolls.
The course will benefit intellectual property attorneys looking to better understand litigation options, intellectual property litigators who want a refresher on patents and trade secrets, and in-house attorneys who want to be on stronger footing when faced with these situations.
