The U.S. litigation system, with its extensive fact/expert discovery and shifting legal landscape, can be intimidating for first-time and repeat foreign litigants alike. Join Anthony, Bryan, and Erin for an overview of strategic pre-litigation steps that both patentees and patent challengers can take to ready themselves for U.S. patent litigation.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Pre-litigation diligence 
• Assessing collateral attacks before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB)
• Attorney-client privilege, work product protection, and community-of-interest exception to waiver of privilege
• Recent updates in U.S. patent law
