You’re Invited to the Taipei Conference on Patent Litigation and Global Trends in the Rise of the NPE October 18, 2012

Esteemed Friends and Colleagues,

I would like to invite you to the upcoming “Conference on Patent Litigation and Global Trends in the Rise of the Non-Practicing Entity (NPE)” that will take place at National Taiwan University (NTU) in Taipei on October 30-31, 2012. The speakers for this exciting event include judges from the Court of Appeals of the Federal Circuit, the U.S. International Trade Commission (USITC), and the United States District Court – together with several of today’s most influential judges from IP Courts of Germany, Japan, and Taiwan who will speak in Taipei on the latest trends in patent litigation around the world.

Attending parties will learn the inside scoop on today’s key patent issues and how these developments apply to your business. In the age of information technology, it is imperative for businesses to be up-to-date with patent law and regulation.

Android); developments in E-Discovery and other evidentiary matters; suggested approaches to the trend of NPE licensing and litigation; litigations involving the America Invents Act (AIA), and more. We invite you to come hear the expert opinions of honorable judges from around the world to speak on these and other cutting-edge subjects.
