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 September 10, 2015 from 1:00 to 2:30 pm (EDT). Thomas J. Scott, Jr. of Personalized Media Communications and Eleanor M. Yost of Goodwin Procter will provide patent counsel with an analysis of the evolving role of opinion in the defense of patent infringement claims and the potential use of opinions of counsel, and discuss the issue of waiver of the attorney-client privilege and provide best practices for developing opinions of counsel. The webinar will review the following questions:
• What is the practical impact of recent Supreme Court and Federal Circuit decisions on utilizing opinions of counsel in defense of willful infringement and induced infringement claims?
• 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?
