Overview:

Inter Partes (IPR) and Post Grant Reviews (PGR) have become an essential part of the patent litigation battlefield.  With Patent Office priorities and Federal Circuit decisions such as Arthrex, Inc. v.

Speakers will also present practical strategies in bringing out the best in the rapidly evolving legal climate.

  • IPRs and PGRs: Overview
  • Notable Federal Circuit Decisions
  • Arthrex, Inc. v. Smith & Nephew, Inc.
