Todd Walters, Chair of the firm's Patent Office Litigation practice and Co-Chair of the Intellectual Property section, will speak on a panel at IPO's 2019 Annual Meeting on September 25, 2019 in Washington, DC. The Organizing Committees – the U.S. Post-Grant Patent Office Practice, Litigation, and U.S. International Trade Commission – will discuss "Effective Management of Parallel Proceedings to Ensure Consistency, Credibility and Success."
Patent litigation increasingly requires counsel to manage parallel proceedings across multiple forums. With different burdens, standards and procedural frameworks, this can be challenging. Speakers will address strategic case management approaches to minimize risk, maintain credibility and ensure consistency of positions.
