Blair Jacobs spoke extensively to Law360 on January 4 regarding intellectual property litigation trends. He cited a perceived decrease in the importance of copyright litigation, saying that "in-house counsel was looking at prioritization of litigation needs and where the company should place its time and money during the year, and...copyright litigation in 2009 was viewed as a lower priority than patent and trademark litigation." Mr. Jacobs noted that in the latter cases, "Damages are helpful, but gathering market space and protecting market power are important as well." He added that trademark infringement suits "are more likely to get a settlement fairly quickly than patent ones...[I]f you have a good claim, you likely will be able to stop the infringement." Looking to 2010, Mr. Jacobs predicted "a fairly robust year for IP litigation, [n]ow that in-house and outside counsel have agreements and strategy planning in place."
