The
Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled
"Versata v. SAP and Fresenius
v. Baxter: Res Judicata and Collateral Estoppel in Post-grant Proceedings
and Concurrent Litigation" on August 28, 2013 beginning at 2:00 pm
(ET). A panel consisting of Bernard Knight, General Counsel of the U.S. Patent
and Trademark Office; Jeffrey Kushan of Sidley Austin; and Scott Daniels of
Westerman Hattori Daniels & Adrian will examine what happens when
the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the Federal Circuit come to
different conclusions about the same patent at different times. The panel will also consider the procedural
stance of the two named cases, enumerate other conflicting situations that are
likely to emerge, and discuss what legal principles will prevail to solve the
resulting conundrums.
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.
