In the latest initiative offered by IP Resources Ltd., Israeli patent professionals, CEOs, lawyers and others, can attend a quality seminar offered by litigators from U.S. patent litigators from one of the top patent firms in the United States, Finnegan, Henderson, , Garrett & Dunner, LLP.
The course, featuring Jeffery Berkowitz and Gerson Panitch runs over the 23rd and 24th of June 2010 at the Dan Accadia Hotel Herzliya and covers
- strategies for responding to threats of infringement
- Considerations when deciding whether to assert a patent in the U.S.
- Pre-suit litigation planning techniques to maximize chances of success
- Techniques for accelerating resolution of a case
- The anatomy of a U.S. patent lawsuit
There will be lectures on pre litigation analysis, discovery, testimony and deposition, summary judgement, mediation and appeals.
The seminars is the latest initiative offered by Kimberly Lindy of IPResources, Ltd. who also intends offering courses for passing the exams for the Israel Patent Bar.
The event, costing NIS 3,950. (+ 16% VAT) is not cheap. then again, The same event costs a similar amount when held in the US or Europe, and for most Israelis, flights and hotels will be redundant. For those interested, the course qualifies for CLE credit in California and New York and the organizers will provide a certificate of attendance to attendees who wish to seek CLE accreditation from other jurisdictions.
Although I don’t know the speakers, we have an ongoing relationship with Finnegan, and I have always been impressed by their professionalism. I assume that the program is in English, but with names like Berkowitz and Gershon, suspect that the speakers will have at least a smattering of Hebrew.
