SKGF Law School Presentation Series on Patent Reexamination Continues at George Mason Law School
April 19th, 2010
Rob Sterne and Jon Wright continued the Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox’s law school presentation series on Tuesday, April 14 at George Mason Law School in Arlington, Virginia. Sterne and Wright presented an interactive talk on reexamination and concurrent patent litigation, entitled “Reexamination and Concurrent Patent Litigation: The Most Significant Development in Patent Enforcement in the Last Five Years.”
The team spoke to an engaged audience of George Mason intellectual property students and other outside attendees. Sterne and Wright’s hour-long discussion focused on the rapidly developing area of patent reexamination within the United States. The talk’s material was taken from Sterne and Wright’s ongoing reexam cases, as well as their roles in authoring Reexamination Practice with Concurrent District Court Litigation or Section 337 USITC Investigations, a go-to guide on reexams, published by The Sedona Conference.
The presentation concluded in a question and answer session with the audience. Students and attendees asked pointed questions to Sterne and Wright about current reexam cases, SKGF’s micro website www.reexamcenter.com, and the future impact of patent reexamination in intellectual property law. Jon Wright, a George Mason Law alumni, commented that “it was great to get back to my alma mater, George Mason, and talk to the current students. They were engaged through the whole presentation and threw us some very astute questions at the end. Rob and I appreciated their energy and we wish we could have stayed a bit longer.”
