The patent litigation landscape has greatly expanded over the past two decades to encompass PTO proceedings and investigations at the International Trade Commission. This course provides in-depth, hands-on exploration and training in these important tribunals. It also provides students with substantial skills training including petition drafting, motion and brief writing, depositions, oral advocacy, and strategic analysis. This class complements the basic patent litigation class, which focuses on district court litigation and appeals.
Although total enrollment is limited, students unable to enroll are encouraged to come to the first day of class, because many students adjust their schedules and room usually opens up for all.
While not absolutely required, all students are strongly encouraged to attend the first class.
