Patent Case Management Judicial Guide: Best Practices Book For Judges & Attorneys

As usual, the Institute delivered an enormous amount of insightful and practical information. The elite panel of experts covered everything you need to know about the practice impact of recent developments on all three sub-groups in the patent law community: patent prosecutors, patent litigators, and patent strategic & transactional lawyers.
