Welcome to Skilled in the Art. I’m Law.com IP reporter Scott Graham. April has been a busy month for high-stakes patent trials and for settlements. VLSI Technology and Intel have kicked off round 2 of their patent war in Waco, and it feels as if another big verdict is in the offing. But we’ve been reminded this month that Texas juries can be defense friendly, too. And that even some of the hardest-fought, multi-jurisdctional IP litigation can always be settled.
