Practical Considerations for Obtaining and Relying Upon a Patent Opinion of Counsel
A patent opinion of counsel is an important aspect of intellectual property management, particularly for companies looking to protect their inventions and innovations. Join us on Tuesday, March 19, 2024, for an enlightening discussion about factors to consider for obtaining and relying upon an opinion of counsel directed to U.S. patents. Foley attorneys Kim Dodd and Andrew Gross will cover topics such as:
- Deciding whether to obtain an opinion of counsel
- Choosing an opinion counsel and commissioning an opinion
- Understanding how an opinion fits into a patent infringement lawsuit in U.S. courts
