Join Director of IP Law Program for Patent Webinar on Nov. 18

Law School Professor Lawrence Sung will participate on a panel for the LexisNexis and Managing IP webinar "Avoid Patent Unenforceability Claims Due to Inequitable Conduct," on Wednesday, November 18 at noon. The webinar is free and open to the public.

The webinar will aim to "provide useful tips for conducting the business and legal affairs associated with research and development to minimize the risks that a defense of patent unenforceability due to inequitable conduct will be lodged, must less prevail, in patent litigation." Other issues to be discussed include the current standards for findings of materiality and intent to deceive, required specificity in pleading, judicial and proposed legislative and administrative policy responses, among more.
