Current Issues Around FRAND and SEPs

Four years ago, the DOJ announced the “New Madison" approach to intellectual property and antitrust disputes, arguing that SEPs holders should be entitled to injunctive relief like any other patent holder. Since then, some of those policies have been rolled back, but has the "New Madison" approach marched on, and what difference has it made, especially in Texas courts?

Navigating IPR Estoppel at Trial

In California Institute of Technology v. Broadcom, the Federal Circuit held that estoppel under 35 U.S.C. § 315(e)(2) applies to any ground that was brought or could have been brought in an IPR. But the law is still unclear on whether estoppel applies to product prior art under 35 USC § 102(a) or 102(b) that is described by one or more patents and printed publications. This presentation explores the current state of the law and provides tips for navigating estoppel with respect to product prior art during litigation.
