The Reexamination Center Executive Interview: Richard Levick on “Reexaminations and the Media”

Reexaminations can have huge collateral impact on patent owners, alleged infringers, and other stakeholders and interested parties. It thus behooves all involved to be aware of the public impact of reexaminations and how best to manage and react to public scrutiny. We are most pleased to be able to address this topic in this interview with Richard Levick, Founder and CEO of Levick Strategic Communications (www.levick.com).
