    ITC ALJs Rule Quickly on IP Rights—Attorneys Risk Sanctions for Not Cooperating
    Articles
    A recent International Trade Commission administrative law judge ruling offers important lessons to anyone involved in the battles over U.S. intellectual property rights, Perkins Coie IP attorneys say.

    Patent Litigation Strategies Against Patent Trolls
    Articles
    The majority of patent cases are brought by non-practicing entities (NPEs), also called patent trolls or patent assertion entities (PAEs). These parties litigate or license their patents but have no real products or services. NPE Lawsuits are commonly brought against U.S. companies and pose unique challenges. For example, many NPEs are represented on a contingent fee basis, and because NPEs do not have products, a defendant typically cannot level the playing field by asserting its own patents against the NPE. Whether you should litigate aggressively through trial or try to negotiate a quick settlement depends on your view of NPEs and the circumstances of the case.
