Navigating IP Minefields: Patent Clearance Strategies in Today’s Legal Climate
The stakes were recently raised for businesses bringing a new product or service to market. The Supreme Court’s June 2016 decision in Halo Electronics v. Pulse Electronics lowered the bar for trial courts to enhance damages for patent infringement, up to three times actual damages. Attorneys Michael Leachman and Micah Fincher of Jones Walker LLP will explain how the assistance of patent counsel can prove valuable when navigating patent minefields and understanding freedom to operate issues that may affect your technology. This seminar will provide strategies to protect your innovations by both identifying and minimizing patent infringement risks through the use of clearance searches and formal written opinions. This event is presented by the New Orleans BioInnovation Center and is open to entrepreneurs, researchers, students, legal professionals, and the public.
