If you are litigating in Texas or think that you could be there soon, you need Michael's unique perspective about procedures and trends. Michael also selects the key cases that you need to know about. It is like having your own personal tour guide for IP cases in Texas. In this episode: With the changes in case assignments and the retirement of Judge Yeakel, things are changing in the Western District of Texas.  We don't know exactly what happens next, but you probably want to get to know the other judges and their approach to patent cases.  Luckily, Michael is watching the entire state. What are the rules for venue this month, Judge Albright's Atlas case gives us an interesting analysis of the inevitable collisions between Fifth Circuit cases and Federal Circuit cases.  It seems clear that court congestion is no longer considered relevant when the plaintiff is a non-practicing entity. Two remedies cases--USAA and US Silica--provide great reading and a roadmap for challenging damages and seeking a permanent injunction. Finally, the court gives us a great explanation of rule 50(a) and the de minimis exception.  For those looking to preserve their appeals, this is a must read.

The USPTO-FDA Collaboration: Laying the Foundation for the Life Sciences Industry and Beyond

  • Author/Instructor:  BCLT

In 2021, President Biden called for action “to help ensure the patent system, while incentivizing innovation, does not also unjustifiably delay generic drug and biosimilar competition beyond that reasonably contemplated by applicable law.” In response, the USPTO and the FDA have begun an unprecedented collaboration that the USPTO believes will “strengthen our patent system for all technologies.” This webinar will explore the first steps of that collaboration and possible next steps, including:   The USPTO’s notice on duties of disclosure and reasonable inquiry, particularly with respect to statements made to the FDA. The FDA’s (and some senators’) concerns about continuation practice and the USPTO’s request for comments on that issue. The role of the PTAB in the collaboration, including the interplay between post grant proceedings at the PTAB and Orange-book listed patents and biologic patents.
