Whether you call them patent trolls, patent aggregators, non-practicing entities (NPEs) or innovators, patent holding companies have greatly affected the landscape for patent litigation. Although in many respects litigating against an NPE resembles general patent litigation, there are a number of nuances in these cases, as well as strategic decisions, each of which may assist either with achieving a favorable settlement or maximizing chances of success in litigation while controlling legal costs. We also have seen a recent wave of cases for false patent marking, which present unique challenges for a defendant. Please join us for a lively and interactive discussion with outside lawyers and in-house counsel about ways to effectively deal with these issues.
