Legal professionals across the globe have long recognized the potency of inter partes reviews (IPR), a procedural rule that allows third parties to challenge the validity of a granted patent. However, the landscape of IPR is constantly shifting. One particularly impactful change revolves around IPR estoppel, a legal principle that prevents a party from taking contradictory positions in a legal matter.
Rife with potential risks and high-stakes consequences, understanding new developments in IPR estoppel is crucial for any law firm or corporation involved in patent challenges. Luckily, Director Jason A. Fitzsimmons and Counsel Richard A. Crudo will tackle this significant issue in a webinar titled “Developments in IPR Estoppel”.
The webinar is scheduled for Tuesday, December 5, 2023, at 1:00 PM ET. All attorneys, patent agents, and legal advisors are strongly encouraged to attend. The possibility of being estopped from asserting prior art in district court is a significant risk that must be considered when filing an IPR. Such a legal restriction could have serious consequences both in the PTAB and in district court.
The attorneys presenting the webinar hail from Sterne, Kessler, Goldstein & Fox P.L.L.C., a prominent Washington, D.C. based law firm. Their collective experience and deep understanding of patent laws and regulations will offer valuable insights into the recent shifts in this rapidly developing area of the law.
As legal professionals, we must keep ourselves updated with changes in our fields. This webinar presents a golden opportunity to stay abreast of the latest developments in IPR estoppel and gain invaluable insights from experienced practitioners.
