BNA Webinar on Multiple Perspectives on Patent Reexamination in Conjunction with Patent Litigation
- Date: March 24, 2010
- Location: Web
In recent years, there has been a significant increase in the number of patents undergoing ex parte or inter partes reexamination. Roughly two-thirds of the patents undergoing inter partes reexamination and one-third of the patents undergoing ex parte reexamination also are involved in a co-pending U.S. District Court litigation or International Trade Commission (ITC) investigation. This webinar will provide an overview of patent reexaminations and various issues that may arise when reexaminations are used in conjunction with other forms of dispute resolution, such as patent litigation or ITC investigations. The speakers will address these issues from the perspectives of (i) the patent owner/plaintiff, (ii) the third party requester/defendant, and (iii) the USPTO/judge. Read more about this BNA Webinar.
