Patent World
The October 2006 issue of Informa's ten-times-a-year journal Patent World has now been published. Dan Perez (Akin Gump Strauss Hauer & Feld) provides the cover story, 'Survival Tactics', with a review of recent trends in patent litigation and the strategies adopted by businesses for dealing with them.
The IPKat thinks this US-oriented piece deserves to be counterbalanced by a review of tactics in Europe, where businesses have to cope with an environment in which all the exciting disputes seem to concern validity before the European Patent Office but there is a paucity of "real" patent infringement litigation in most countries. How about it, Patent World?
A special bonus for Patent World subscribers is the publishers' supplement, IP & High Technology, which has more pages than Patent World and provides an attractive snapshot of contemporary issues/headaches. Produced for the AIPPI's 40th Congress, it's also a useful guide as to how some of the more assertive law firms who have furnished copy like to project themselves.

No comments:
All comments must be moderated by a member of the IPKat team before they appear on the blog. Comments will not be allowed if the contravene the IPKat policy that readers' comments should not be obscene or defamatory; they should not consist of ad hominem attacks on members of the blog team or other comment-posters and they should make a constructive contribution to the discussion of the post on which they purport to comment.
It is also the IPKat policy that comments should not be made completely anonymously, and users should use a consistent name or pseudonym (which should not itself be defamatory or obscene, or that of another real person), either in the "identity" field, or at the beginning of the comment. Current practice is to, however, allow a limited number of comments that contravene this policy, provided that the comment has a high degree of relevance and the comment chain does not become too difficult to follow.
