How Corporate Counsel Can Impact the Direction and Cost of IP Litigation
09/25/2008 - 09/25/2008
Intellectual Property litigation is exploding as companies make every effort to protect intangible assets, including patents, trademarks, copyrights and trade secrets. The rules affecting the scope and pace of this type of litigation are different from rules affecting traditional commercial cases. Decisions made by in-house counsel regarding everything from the selection of an appropriate forum to the procedures relating to electronic discovery can dramatically affect the total cost and eventual outcome of the litigation.
This program has been specifically designed to assist in-house attorneys charged with the direction of IP-related litigation to make better and more cost-effective decisions.
