The
Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar on
"Inter Partes Review: Rules and
Strategy" on September 5, 2012 beginning at 2:00 pm (ET). A panel consisting of the Hon. Sally Medley,
Administrative Patent Judge, USPTO; Kevin Laurence of Stoel Rives, LLP; and
Scott Markow of Stanley Black & Decker, Inc. will focus on the final rules
and such topics as estoppel, costs, and related stays in litigation. The panel will also discuss when to launch an
inter partes review in light of other
alternatives, the nature of the trial at the PTAB, how to defend the patent,
and how to manage teams that include litigators who have not previously
practiced at the USPTO.
The registration fee for the webinar is $120 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
