The details of patent infringement are something that only a patent attorney love. But you and your company (particularly if you are startup) need to have some basic understandings when you are trying to decide whether or not to sue come competitor, or what to do when you are charged with infringement.

The goal of this session is to help you understand what acts can and cannot be “infringing,” and what the effects of losing an infringement suit can have on you and your customers. Also, when can you challenge a patent in the PTO without having to go through litigation, and if your patent has problems, can you get the PTO to fix them.
