    Claim Drafting Strategies: Prosecutor and Litigator Perspectives on Drafting and Prosecuting Claims
    The prosecutor has thousands of dollars to draft and negotiate issued claims. The litigator has millions of dollars to argue over what they mean. Given the backdrop of the current patent law, this panel considers what claims drafting techniques can be taken to strengthen your patents for litigation, without exceeding your prosecution budget.

    Examiner Interviews: Why, When and How
    Interviews with examiners can advance common understanding of an invention, resolve conflicts in interpreting claims and prior art, and efficiently move cases toward allowance, but few practitioners receive training or think strategically about effective interview structure and presentation. In this session, a litigator and a prosecutor address key considerations and skills in the art of planning and holding the interview, with mock dialogue to illustrate particular techniques and a discussion of visual presentation tools.

    Patentable Subject Matter: Back in the Federal Circuit’s Court
    In Bilski, the Supreme Court reaffirmed the bar against patenting “abstract ideas” while rejecting the exclusivity of a machine-or-transformation test for process patentability. Where might the law go from here, and how might private parties react?

    Inequitable Conduct
    The Federal Circuit's decision to revisit the inequitable conduct doctrine in Therasense has brought this area of the law to a crossroads. The presentation looks at the en banc briefing and argument that is scheduled to take place in November 2010, and considers whether the law is likely to change and, if so, how. In addition, the speaker discusses best practices under the current law to avoid charges of patent unenforceability and to defeat such charges at trial if necessary.

    Design Patents and Utility Patents: Where the Twain Meet and Even Overlap
    Statutory subject matter for design patents must be “ornamental,” while that for utility patents must be “useful.” For design patents, the ornamental boundary is defined by the doctrine of functionality, while for utility patents, usefulness is couched in terms of providing some identifiable benefit. This presentation analyzes those boundaries, and shows how they can actually overlap, i.e., how design patents can be used to protect functional features of products, and how utility patents can be used to protect ornamental features.

    Alternative Fee Arrangements and Cost Control: Bidding for Cases
    The advent of the patent troll, changes in patent law and an increasingly competitive marketplace have collectively impacted, and in many ways fundamentally changed, the business of how patent cases are budgeted and handled.  The panel explores alternative fee arrangements, case budgets and other cost control measures both from an in-house and outside counsel perspective.  The panel also looks at how tighter corporate budgets are impacting the bidding and selection process for litigation counsel.

    Damages
    The role of the entire market value rule in the calculation of patent damages has been the subject of much discussion in the context of both litigated cases and patent law reform efforts.  Parties often disagree about how much of the value of an accused product should be subject to a damages calculation, where the invention of the patent at issue arguably does not implicate, or create the demand for, the entire product.  This panel explores the current state of the law under the Lucent and Cornell decisions and offers practical insights on how best to present and defend against damages claims in light of the applicable law.
