TO ALL MEMBERS AND FRIENDS:
The Philadelphia Intellectual Property Law Association is holding its next meeting on Wednesday, January 22, 2025 at 5:30 PM.
Location: Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld LLP
1735 Market Street, 12th Floor, Philadelphia, PA 19103
CLE Program: Collateral Estoppel and the Race to the Patent Finish Line
Presenter: Anthony Sierra
Description of CLE Program: In the patent world, the application of collateral estoppel to issues already raised and adjudicated can sometimes trigger a race to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit when two different forums address the same or related issues. Thanks to the growing usage of inter partes reviews in the last decade, more and more parties find themselves competing in this race; this presentation explores recent developments to the doctrine, the lessons we can learn, and strategies that parties should consider as they gear up to win the race.
Following the presentation, you are invited to join us for drinks and hors d’oeuvres. Please RSVP for the January meeting by January 17, 2025 by e-mail to PIPLAPhilly@outlook.com (or by clicking the “Attend Event” button below). One hour of Pennsylvania and Delaware CLE credit has been requested.
