The Patent Litigator's Job: A Survival Guide

Written as a guide for lawyers new to patent litigation, this book focuses on common procedural issues and details the "life cycle" of patent litigation from pre-file investigation and discovery to summary judgment.

The Patent Litigator's Job: A Survival Guide is broken down into five main parts:

1. Introduction including organizational tips

2. Pre-litigation strategy, initial pleadings and case schedule

3. Fact discovery

4. Expert discovery, Markman Practice and summary judgment

5. Reexaminations, joint defense groups, mediations and settlement

Sample form documents are also supplied on a CD to aid in the patent litigation process. This accessible, yet comprehensive, guide provides practical advice and guidance on how to approach patent litigation at a beginner to intermediate level.
