SOUTHFIELD, Mich. – Brooks Kushman Shareholder Sangeeta Shah will serve on a panel at the Centerforce IP Enforcement Summit in Chicago on April 12, 2016 for the third consecutive year.
Through the adoption of the America Invents Act (AIA), inter partes review has transformed the patent litigation landscape. Shah’s panel will focus on proactive and effective strategies for patent owners to navigate post issuance proceedings, understanding how infringers are using the process, and discuss common pitfalls to avoid. Shah will discuss recent developments, effective strategies for Petitioners and Patent Owners and the impact of Federal Circuit appeals on this changing landscape of post-grant proceedings with two other panelists.
The IP Enforcement Summit explores benchmarks and challenges the enforcement strategies that companies are currently implementing, how they can be improved and where current trends are heading.
