The Federal Circuit Bar Association (FCBA) will be offering a program on "The Ramifications of TC Heartland and Recent Decisions About Venue in Patent Cases" on January 10, 2018 from 1:00 pm to 2:15 pm (EST) at the FCBA office in Washington, DC. Andew R. Sommer of Winston & Strawn LLP will moderate a panel consisting of Gregory A. Castanias of Jones Day, Douglas A. Cawley of McKool Smith, Tara D. Elliot of WilmerHale, Richard Rainey of Covington, and Jen Yokoyama, Senior Counsel, Apple Inc. The panel will explore the Supreme Court's decision in TC Heartland LLC v. Kraft Foods Group Brands and the Federal Circuit's decisions in In re Cray and In re Micron and how these decisions are shifting the patent litigation landscape. The panel will also discuss the shift of cases out of Texas and the increase in filings in Delaware, and explore how practice before the district courts has changed in light of TC Heartland.
The webinar is complimentary for FCBA members and $50 (government/academic/retired) or $125 (private practitioner) for non-members. Those interested in registering for the webcast, can do so here.
