Strafford will be offering a webinar/teleconference entitled "Patent Infringement: Structuring Opinions of Counsel: Leveraging Opinion Letters to Reduce the Risks of Liability and Enhanced Damages" on May 22, 2014 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Thomas J. Scott, Jr., Senior Vice President and General Counsel, Personalized Media Communications; and Eleanor M.

The webinar will review the following questions:
• What is the practical impact of recent Federal Circuit decisions on utilizing opinions of counsel?
• How does the "objective recklessness" standard impact legal advice on proactive clearance analysis for product planning and strategic portfolio development?
• Under what circumstances should corporate counsel seek outside opinions of counsel to protect their client from infringement claims?
