Conference Overview
Over the last ten years, a tremendous amount of data and analytical reports have become available in the areas of patent, copyright, and trademark litigation and prosecution. This conference—hosted by USD’s Center for Intellectual Property Law & Markets (CIPLM)–will provide practitioners with an overview of the data and empirical analysis available from the U.S. Patent & Trademark Office, the federal courts, academia, and private industry. The session will include a series of panels and presentations by prominent Federal Circuit and local judges, corporate and law firm counsel, and academics. Additionally, several IP professors will present the results of their latest studies on patent examination and litigation. Finally, panels will make recommendations on the types of data and studies that practitioners, judges, and clients would like to see offered in the future. Attendees will have ample opportunity to participate in the discussion during the presentations and in numerous breaks.
The conference is sponsored in part by the generous support of:
- DLA Piper
- Knobbe Martens
- Townsend Townsend & Crew
- Wilson Sonsini
