Litigation financing has evolved into a multibillion-dollar industry in the U.S., and data shows that up to a one-third of all patent disputes are now funded, making it the highest-growth area in litigation financing. The prevalence of litigation shell companies and other procedural quirks in patent litigation give rise to both advantages and challenges for companies deploying funding. Our presentation will cover ongoing concerns about transparency in these financial arrangements, the complex web of differing state law requirements, and the growing call for standardized federal disclosure rules.
