Strategies and Best Ways to Deal with Trolls/NonPracticing Entities (NPEs)
Overview:
Complex patent cases brought by non-practicing entities (NPEs) have had a significant impact on intellectual property law. Aside from the time it takes to defend these cases, companies also face skyrocketing legal fees and settlement payments, as well as rising damage awards in the NPE cases that reach trial. Companies need to be equipped with the best strategies to respond to the unique challenges posed by NPE patent claims.
The Knowledge Group is producing a LIVE webcast which will explore the issues and concerns surrounding patent allegations brought by NPEs. A key panel of thought leaders and practitioners will provide valuable information and analysis with the recent cases, along with training on best practices to help you head off potential problems and win the case.
