The Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar entitled "Alice and Mayo at Trial: Section 101 Litigation After Berkheimer" on May 21, 2020 at 2:00 pm (EDT). Jay Heidrick of Polsinelli, Kfir Levy of Mayer Brown LLP, and Ellisen Turner of Kirkland & Ellis, LLP will focus on litigation strategy now that many more Section 101 issues are going to trial -- and even to a jury. The panel will explain that plaintiffs should be careful what they wish for, address how Alice can arm defendants with a way to invalidate a patent that is easier than painstakingly mapping out how each patent claim was disclosed in prior art, and also how these arguments might also help to overcome the presumption of validity, and will also consider recent Federal Circuit decisions such as Exergen Corp. v. Kaz and CardioNet v. InfoBionic, which bear on whether and how eligibility questions may ultimately reach a jury.
The registration fee for the webinar is $135 (IPO member) or $150 (non-member) (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
