Sooner or later, nearly all high technology companies encounter one or more patents that may present a roadblock to bringing a product to market or to conducting important research.

This audio conference presentation provides an overview of the legal tools available in the United States to help address such “problem” patents. In particular, our speakers provide a detailed discussion of patent re-examinations and the interplay between re-examinations and litigation. Additionally, the presentation looks at other mechanisms that may be used when one encounters a problematic patent, such as licensing, design-arounds, protests, interferences, and arbitration.

This presentation is informative both for companies that are concerned with patents held by others, as well as companies that may seek to enforce their own patents and thus subject such patents to validity challenges. The knowledge of these tools, and their various pros and cons, provided through this presentation give companies needed information to assist their strategic decision-making.
