Closed door small groups (by application only) - Emerging strategies for efficiently dealing with NPE patent threats | Kisaco Research

This breakout session will be a group discussion of: (i) strategies for efficiently dealing with threats from non-practicing entities; (ii) the pros and cons of aggressively defending such cases versus low-dollar settlements; (iii) the effective use of the PTAB and early motion practice to drive early resolution; and (iv) war stories from the frontline fighting NPEs. This session will also include a presentation of a data-driven case study demonstrating the effectiveness of a set of strategies that have successfully reduced both the pendency and number of NPE lawsuits.
