| A B O U T T H E C O N F E R E N C E “Given recent developments, the usual courses of action for pursuing or defending claims for lost profits, reasonable royalties, and damages from price erosion and convoyed sales may not be sufficient to guarantee success. Patent trial lawyers must be prepared to address certain critical questions: • Is your damages expert’s testimony sufficiently rigorous to satisfy the requirements described in Daubert and Kumho Tire or is it “junk science”? • Is the data your expert is relying upon complete? • Do market realities support damages for price erosion or lost convoyed sales? • What is the relationship between legal and economic standards for determining reasonable royalties? • What key antitrust issues may have an impact on your patent case? This seminar gives you the tools to answer these and other key questions.” Program Co-Chairs: Robert A. Freitas, Esq. of Orrick Herrington & Sutcliffe LLP, and Kenneth Serwin, Ph.D. of NERA Economic Consulting. Credits: CA 7.25 MCLE; WA 7.25 CLE; Call about others. Who Should Attend? Attorneys and business executives involved with patent transactions and patent litigation. |
