CLE Webinar: Fee Shifting in Patent Litigation: Past, Present, and Future

Patent litigation is expensive. Most cases settle because it is less expensive to pay a royalty to the patent owner (often a "patent troll") than it is to litigate. But for those who choose to fight and then win, chances have improved to recover fees and expenses from the patent owner. In this webinar, we will discuss the past, present, and possible future status of fee-shifting in patent cases.
