Who's That Lurking Underneath My Bridge?: Defining Patent Trolls - Truth or Fiction in Patent Litigation
Thursday, June 19, 2014, 1-2 PM Central
Patent Litigation is on the rise and so are the accusations that the plaintiffs are "Patent Trolls" or, more politely, Non-Practicing Entities (NPEs). Many of you have probably received research requests to determine if the plaintiff in your firm's case is a patent troll or not.
So what defines a patent troll? Learn the red flags of identifying a patent troll and tips and techniques for researching these often nebulous entities. Learn to identify when the party in fact is not a patent troll, and what information your patrons need about such entities when moving forward with litigation. Who are the most prolific of patent trolls today and who are the most (allegedly) unfairly maligned?
Webinar space for this FREE program is limited to the first 100 registrants. A recording of the webinar and the slides will be made available through the PLL-IP Caucus website.
