IPR: Statistics Continue to Favor Petitioner's Perspective
Inter partes review (IPR) is a powerful alternative or supplement to patent litigation that permits a party to challenge a patent's validity before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). In fact, the concurrent use of IPR in connection with federal district court patent litigation has become so pervasive that many patent infringement litigants now consider IPRs to be a de facto counterpart to such litigation. From the accused infringer's perspective, an IPR is an essential consideration and may be an integral part of a defense strategy. In that regard, a patentee must take into account how an IPR could derail its enforcement efforts.

US Supreme Court Explores Standing Doctrine in 'Spokeo'
Article III of the Constitution is the gatekeeper of the federal courts. One of Article III's limitations on federal jurisdiction is the standing doctrine—in short, the requirement that any litigant be able to demonstrate that he or she has been injured in some way. Under longstanding U.S. Supreme Court precedent, a plaintiff must have suffered a harm that is actual, distinct and concrete in order to have standing. An attenuated or hypothetical injury is insufficient and does not constitute an "injury-in-fact."Clashing Views of Standing in 'Spokeo'
An unusual case now pending in the U.S. Supreme Court is Spokeo v. Robins. The case is about standing, a status that gives one the right to sue another if certain requirements are met.

Preserving Your Legacy Begins Online
I've written regularly about communicating before, during and after crises in these pages. While new technologies and external events continue to change the environment in which we work and live, the basic tenets of crisis communication have generally remained stable: Respond and take ownership of your or your client's mistake if necessary; say what you're going to do to ensure that the mistake doesn't happen again; and provide a vehicle (a phone number and website) for your audience to learn more or ask questions. Perhaps it's now time to add a new tenet: Determine the potential for damage resulting from your mistake to your online reputation.TRENDING STORIES
