As always, you can count on the two days of in-depth discussions on patent law with panels of leading experts that you’ve come to expect at APLI. This year, however, we are debuting a new programming format for Day 2.
The Day 2 agenda will consist of two separate, custom-designed tracks:
Litigation and Prosecution
Each track will be held in a separate room, so you can attend sessions tailored to your practice and focus on content that is important to you. Sessions for each track will include:
Litigation Track
- Litigation and speaking roles–PTAB & District Court practices (DEI)
- Mediation, arbitration, and settlement strategies
- Fintiv
- Venue and intra-district assignments-impacts on litigation strategies and best practices
- IP licensing and settlements; troublesome terms
- Global litigation strategies and developments
- Daubert and damages
- Litigation ethics
Prosecution Track
- Spec drafting and 101–a litigator’s plea to prosecutors
- Filing strategies in light of EU unitary system
- A litigator’s view of claim drafting
- Key updates on U.S. patent prosecution techniques
- EPO prosecution and management best practices
- Prosecution conflicts (ethics)
- Beyond IPRs, Appeal practice for prosecutors
- Inventorship and inclusiveness; best and worst practices (DEI)
APLI is also honored to announce our Keynote Speaker:
