Antitrust & IP Meeting: Fundamentals and Recent Developments

• Presenters: Jon Gleklen (Partner), Josh Barlow (Partner), Tiffany Jang (Senior Associate)

• Description: How do antitrust laws limit the exploitation of patent rights? What types of conduct involving patents have drawn attention from the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the U.S. Department of Justice (DOJ) (the agencies that enforce federal antitrust laws)? What are antitrust-related considerations that patent practitioners should keep in mind? Join us for an hourlong introduction to antitrust law basics for patent law professionals. We will cover topics of relevance to patent prosecutors, litigators, and transactional attorneys, from reverse payments to patent acquisitions to standard essential patents (SEP)/FRAND issues. We will also discuss recent developments in the IP/antitrust interface.

This event is virtual only. Attendance is free, but registration is required. CLE credit is pending.
