Managing IPRs in Multi-Defendant Litigation
Steptoe & Johnson has posted a complimentary on-demand webinar discussing the inter partes review (IPR) process in multi-defendant litigation.
In district court litigations involving multiple defendants, coordinating a successful defense strategy almost always involves a discussion of the IPR process, the firm says on its website. Should the defendants decide to file an IPR, a coordinated presentation of the evidence is required to optimize success at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. But defendants often disagree on many issues associated with filing the IPR, including when to file, how best to present the arguments, what references to use, and who should join.
The firm says the webinar is a discussion of some successful (and not so successful) strategies multiple defendants can use when filing an IPR, as well as how these strategies may affect the concurrent district court litigation.
