Please join us at the joint Midyear Meeting for The Sedona Conference’s Working Group 9 on Patent Damages and Remedies (WG9) and Working Group 10 on Patent Litigation Best Practices (WG10).
WG9 and WG10 have recently published no less than seven commentaries with principles and best practice recommendations for a better patent system. We continue to seek public comment on all of these commentaries, including from the judiciary and litigants. This meeting will be an essential step toward this effort.
