Live web cast: February 5, 2015 (12:00 noon ET)

Recent judicial and legislative developments may have made it more difficult for nonpracticing entities and other patent owners to successfully assert their patents. The U.S. Supreme Court’s Himark v. Allcare and Alice v. CLS Bank decisions are both deterring patent suits, as reflected in the recent statistic suggesting a 40% drop in patent lawsuit filings over the past 12 months; and post grant proceedings at the PTO, which took effect under the America Invents Act, have resulted in the invalidation of hundreds of patent claims. Anthony F. LoCicero, Amster Rothstein and Ebenstein, discusses these important developments and their impact on the future of patent assertion.
