HOME DEPOTBy Shawn B. Cage, Alissa K. Lipton,Edward M. MathiasWhen the Federal Circuit adopted a newstandard for proving willful infringement inIn re Seagate Technology, LLC, itacknowledged that it was leaving to futurecourts the details of how the standardshould be applied. Four years later, courtsare struggling with procedural andsubstantive issues arising from Seagate.In this seminar, the panelists will describeempirical research into application of thenew standard, the totality of thecircumstances approach courts havegenerally applied, and the factors thatcourts have frequently considered inapplying the standard.The panelists will also discuss theimplications of the Federal Circuit's recentdecision in Powell v. Home Depot U.S.A.,Inc. The Federal Circuit had two significantholdings in Powell. First, whereaswillfulness previously was tried to a singlefact-finder, the Federal Circuit held thecourt and the jury should divide the task ofdetermining willfulness. Second, itaffirmed a finding of willful infringementwhere the district court's pretrial decisionsappeared to establish that the defendanthad legitimate, credible and reasonableliability defenses-- the type of defensesthat the Federal Circuit previously heldprecluded a finding of willful infringement.Therefore, the Powell decision will changehow willfulness cases are both tried andreviewed.Item no. : HC11200631Format : CD-ROM (Win)Duration : 90 minutesCopyright : 2012Price : USD 150.00WRITTEN DESCRIPTIONREQUIREMENT, THE: AREANTIBODIES CHEMICALS,CALS,PROTEINS, OREXCEPTIONS?Federal Circuit cases over the past fifteenyears have stressed that 35 U.S.C. § 112,first paragraph contains a writtendescription requirement separate fromenablement. However, practitioners'opinions vary on what disclosure isrequired to meet written description,particularly in the field of antibodies. Therecent case Centocor Ortho Biotech, Inc. v.Abbott Labs, raised the topic into thepatent limelight. Centocor won a $1.67billion damages award for infringement,but the Federal Circuit held Centocor'spatent invalid for failure to meet the writtendescription requirement, and the SupremeCourt declined certiorari.This audio CD-ROM will demonstrate arange of views on the written descriptionrequirement for antibodies. The U.S.Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO)routinely grants functionally-definedantibody claims to those who discover anovel protein or epitope or some otherinteresting feature of an antibody. Somepractitioners argue that the USPTO fails toapply the written description guidelines topurely functional antibody claims, creatingan "antibody exception" to writtendescription. Others argue that disclosureof the protein or epitope to which theantibodies bind is sufficient to meet therequirement.
