“UC Berkeley, Stanford and Santa Clara Professors Provide Insights
on Current Patent Issues"
We are pleased to offer an esteemed panel of law school professors from UC Berkeley, Robert Barr, Stanford University, Jacob Sherkow, and Santa Clara University, Brian Love, for our April dinner meeting. They plan to provide their current insights on relevant topics to our SVIPLA audience.
Among topics for discussion: recent developments in the law of injunctions and damages in patent cases, including the irreparable harm requirement for injunctions, the entire market value rule for damages, and the evolving rules for standards-essential patents, and attempt to explain how these developments affect patent strategy and prosecution. In addition, AMP v. Myriad, widely known as the gene patenting case, presents a host of scientific, legal, and policy issues. Some of the legal issues surrounding this litigation will be discussed including a recap of the recent oral argument at the Supreme Court, as well as a perspective on the impact of the Court's ruling to the biotechnology industry.
Be sure to bring your questions on hot IP issues.
