The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Summary Judgment After Berkheimer" on January 31, 2019 from 2:00 to 3:00 pm (ET). Chris Hughes of Cadwalader Wickersham & Taft LLP, Frank Nuzzi of Siemens Corp., and Jonathan Waldrop of Kasowitz Benson Torres & Friedman, LLP will examine what's been happening at district courts since Berkheimer v HP Inc. and extract lessons for both plaintiffs and defendants. The panel will consider and analyze:
• Cases referencing Berkheimer where early 35 U.S.C. § 101 challenges were granted, such as iSentium v. Bloomberg Fin. (S.D.N.Y.)
• Finjan, Inc. v. Juniper Network, Inc. (N.D. Cal.), where the court ordered the section 101 invalidity defense be decided at trial, but the ultimate jury instructions and verdict form did not address Section 101
• Data Engine v. Google (D.Del), where the court granted a motion for judgment on the pleadings, but was reversed-in-part by the Federal Circuit
• When, in trial proceedings, it's best to pose, or to resist, a § 101 challenge
• The distinctive approach taken by some judges in the Eastern District of Texas
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
