Kilpatrick’s Edward Mayle and Kevin Bell recently presented “What Corporate Counsel Need to Know About Patent Damages” at the ACC Colorado In-House Counsel Forum. With reports of nine-figure jury awards in patent cases being almost commonplace, corporate counsel need a comprehensive understanding of patent damages to effectively navigate intellectual property disputes and protect their company’s interests. Mr. Mayle and Mr. Bell discussed cost-effective and efficient ways to maximize (from the point of view of patent owners) or minimize (from the accused infringer’s perspective) patent damages. They emphasized that by staying informed about patent damages principles and practices, corporate counsel can effectively advise their companies on intellectual property matters and mitigate risks associated with patent infringement litigation.

IPO's IP Chat Channel will host a webinar on Thursday, August 15th titled "UK Perspectives of the Unified Patent Court (UPC)." Patent litigation in Europe has undergone a dramatic change with the advent of the UPC. Currently around 25% of granted European patents are resulting in a Unitary Patent and there are over 100 Unitary Patents being litigated at the UPC. Injunctions (including preliminary injunctions), damages, and costs are available within rapid timescales, with first instance decisions and appeals within 12 to 15 months.   Eighty-five percent of UPC representatives are patent attorneys and the United Kingdom has over 1,000 registered UPC representatives – the second largest number in Europe. Many of them represent U.S. clients before the UPC. This panel will include UK patent attorneys from four firms who have first-hand experience of UPC litigation who can provide insight into the opportunities offered by Europe’s new litigation regime. Speakers include Simon Curtis (Potter Clarkson), Laura Ramsay (Dehns), Pamela Tuxworth (J A Kemp), and Daniel Wise (Carpmaels & Ransford). Register now at webinars.ipo.org. CLE applied for in most states. #patents #intellectualproperty #unifiedpatentcourt

"Protect your business ideas with patents! Listen to Jake Ward, a patent attorney, and learn the essentials of navigating the patent process. From exclusivity to timing, this episode has it all. #Patents #IntellectualProperty #Innovation"

Patents are an exchange of sorts. Companies earn 20 years of exclusivity in exchange for disclosing detailed information about their discovery. There are benefits on both sides, but it is a delicate balance. Any changes to the patent system may alter corporate disclosure, potentially disrupting competition and progress as well. In this week’s episode of Art of Supply, Kelly Barner welcomes back patent attorney Wen Xie, a patent attorney and a Partner at Global IP Counselors, LLP, to talk about pending rule changes at the USPTO and the chilling effect they may have on disclosed innovation in the United States. #patents #intellectualproperty #government
