Patent Litigation
The value of patents to private enterprise, and the economy as a whole, has never been greater than now. The inaugural Sedona conference on patent litigation will explore such issues as the management of intellectual property, business considerations involved in patent litigation, and the proper role of the jury, in addition to trial techniques, focus groups, pretrial considerations, proof of damages, and appeals to the Federal Circuit.
