LexisNexis IP and IPWatchdog and will be offering a webinar entitled "Myths of Litigated Patents" on October 15, 2020 at 12:00 pm (ET). Dr. Sean Tu, Professor, WVU College of Law; Megan McLoughlin of LexisNexis® IP; and Gene Quinn of IPWatchdog will discuss whether patent examiners who issue litigated patents have common characteristics? While intuition would argue that those examiners who issue the most patents (approximately one patent every three business days) would exhibit a higher litigation rate, surprisingly, two studies by Professor Sean Tu suggest that this is wrong. The panel will address the following issues:
• Which types of examiners tend to issue patents that later undergo litigation
• Whether examiners who are "rubber stamping" patents issue litigated patents at a disproportionately higher rate
• Whether examiners with less experience are issuing more litigated patents
The issues at stake during prosecution for different types of examiners
• How this knowledge can impact your prosecution practice
