Gills ATL: Nagendra (Nick) Setty, Mitchell G. Stockwell NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Christopher K. Hu 9:15 Recent Developments in Patent Law and Their Impact on Patent Litigation The opening session will provide an overview of the most important Supreme Court, Federal Circuit and District Court decisions of the past year and their effect on patent litigation. Legislation affecting patents and patent litigation and any significant developments in U.S. Patent and Trademark rules, policies and procedures will also be covered. SF: Craig R. Kaufman N.VA: William D. Belanger CHI: Brent A. Hawkins ATL: Timothy R. Holbrook NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: John C. Englander 10:15 Networking Break 10:30 Selecting a Litigation Forum From Among the District Courts and the International Trade Commission One of the first, and often most important, issues with which practitioners must come to terms when preparing to file a patent infringement lawsuit is the selection of the proper forum. This segment addresses the relevant considerations in play when selecting from among the various district courts, including the speed of the various courts from filing to decision, developments in transfer and venue-related law, the relative expertise and trends among the courts, and results. This segment will also address issues for consideration in connection with the filing of a complaint before the International Trade Commission under Section 337, including the speed of such investigations, conduct of the investigations, the various remedies available under Section 337, and enforcement through the ITC and through U.S. Customs and Border Protection of such remedies. SF: David Enzminger N.VA: Bert C. Reiser CHI: G. Brian Busey ATL: A. James Isbester NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: George E. Badenoch 11:30 Follow the Money: NPEs and Pre-Litigation Considerations Rembrandts in the Attic spawned the NPEs that have filed increasing numbers of enforcement and false marking actions. Those trends, coupled with operating companies desires to monetize patent rights, have created a new dawn of patent litigation. Patent monetization practices that provide NPEs the means to institute new actions, the ways in which NPEs target defendants, the role of standards-based infringement claims and the required pre-filing due diligence are addressed. Specific initial filing issues, including applying heightened pleading standards under Twombly and Iqbal, joint infringement defenses, Rule 11 requirements and early case resolution are covered, as well as cost-effective case management practices, including early pleading motions, the pros and cons of joint representations versus joint defense groups, and alternative billing arrangements available in multi-party cases.

Strong NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Constance S. Huttner 12:30 Lunch Break Afternoon Session: 1:45 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 1:45 Discovery Issues Issues relating to the discovery of Electronically Stored Information ( ESI ) continue to be the focus of recent court decisions both in the patent litigation field as well as in general commercial litigation. These decisions make it clear that it is important for both in-house counsel and outside counsel to be well versed in the legal obligations attendant to the preservation, collection, searching and production of ESI. This session will focus on the most recent developments in electronic discovery, but will also cover other significant discovery decisions. SF: J. Christopher Carraway N.VA: Michael J.

5 S C H E D U L E Day Two: 9:00 a.m. 5:00 p.m. Morning Session: 9:00 a.m. 12:15 p.m. 2:45 Parallel Patent Reexaminations In recent years, accused infringers have increasingly sought reexamination of patents asserted against them in litigation. Strategic considerations on whether to seek reexamination will be analyzed. This session will also address the effects of reexamination on litigation, including stays and possible collateral estoppel effects and intervening rights. The details of ex parte and inter partes reexamination in the USPTO will be explored. SF: Robert Greene Sterne N.VA: Gregory V. Novak CHI: Paul B. Stephens, Debbie K. Wright ATL: Christopher O. Green NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Steven I. Weisburd 3:45 Networking Break 4:00 In the Aftermath of In re Bilski The controversy over the patentability of business methods and software continues even after the Federal Circuit s en banc decision in In re Bilski. The Supreme Court s decision in Bilski, if issued, will be covered. This session will also explore the issues relating to the assertion of patents against Internet businesses, including financial institutions and retailers. SF: Stephen C. Durant N.VA: Philip G. Hampton II CHI: Andrea M. Augustine ATL: Jeffrey R. Kuester NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Eric D. Kirsch 5:00 Adjourn 9:00 Opinion Letters Whether opinions of counsel are necessary or desirable after Knorr- Bremse remains an open question. This session will cover the standard of proof of willfulness after In re Seagate Technology and Broadcom v. Qualcomm, whether an opinion should be obtained, whether to waive the privilege and the scope of the waiver. SF: Charles S. Barquist N.VA: Shamita D. Etienne-Cummings CHI: Neil C. Jones ATL: Bill Cook, Malvern ("Griff") U. Griffin III, Mollybeth (Molly) Kocialski, Bill Silverio NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Eric Damon 10:00 Contemporary Issues in Patent Royalty Damages Traditionally, in the absence of an established royalty, royalty damages have been assessed by application of the Georgia Pacific factors and, in certain cases, use of the entire market value rule where the value of the invention extends to nonpatented features. Recently, the methodologies for computing royalty damages, the standards for the entire market value rule and apportionment, the applicability of individual Georgia Pacific factors, and the underlying evidence have received increased scrutiny. Judicial opinions have provided guidance on the proper assessment of royalty damages, but also fostered additional questions relating to methodology, types of evidence, pre-trial techniques (e.g., Daubert) and proof of damages at trial. The issue of running royalty damages in lieu of a permanent injunction has become part of this royalty damages fabric, particularly because some trial courts have submitted the running royalty issue to juries. These contemporary issues are explored and practical strategies presented in the context of recent decisions, such as Lucent v. Gateway et al., i4i v. Microsoft, Cornell University v. Hewlett Packard, and Resqnet v. Kaplan & Gillman et al. SF: Edward G. Poplawski N.VA: Stefani E. Shanberg CHI: Kara E.F. Cenar ATL: Danielle Williams NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Richard W.

6 Please plan to arrive with enough time to register before the conference begins. A networking breakfast will be available upon your arrival. 11:15 Dealing With Experts Expert witnesses play a critical role in patent litigation with respect to both liability and damages issues. The selection and use of testifying and non-testifying experts, the development of expert opinions, preparation of expert reports and expert discovery, including the discoverability of drafts and communications with the expert, will be covered. This segment will also cover the use of evidentiary motions, including Daubert motions, to challenge the factual and scientific bases for expert opinions. SF: David I. Gindler N.VA: David J. Ball, Jr. CHI: G. Courtney Holohan ATL: Holmes J. Hawkins III NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Eric J. Lobenfeld 12:15 Lunch Break Afternoon Session: 1:45 p.m. 5:00 p.m. 1:45 Effective, Admissible and Visual Communications The Art and Practice of Visual Persuasion The age of video, PowerPoint and animation has increased the need to cost-effectively deploy visual media both pre-trial and at trial. Techniques for creating simple, effective graphics and video presentations in communicating key points will be covered, including best practices for creating effective Markman, trial and expert graphics. We will consider the pros and cons of claim construction tutorials, both interactive and pre-packaged, as well as effective Markman presentations. The topic includes discussion of typical graphics used in trial with experts and fact witnesses, as well as the rules governing admissibility and mechanisms for attacking misleading visual materials. SF & N.VA: Lawrence W. Collins, David Dolkas CHI: Mark E. Ferguson, Mark S. Ouweleen ATL: Lawrence K. Nodine NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: David J.F. Gross 2:45 Networking Break 3:00 Expert Direct/Cross Demonstration and Effective Use of Visual Aids at Trial Experts are a common fixture in patent litigation to help prove or disprove a myriad of issues relating to infringement, validity, unenforceability, and/or damages. This segment will include a demonstration of the direct and cross-examination of an expert on any one of these issues in a patent suit. Further, as most experts use demonstrative and other visual aids to make complex facts and technology more jury and judge friendly, this segment will illustrate the effective use of visual aids and trial vendors to make a more cohesive and persuasive presentation. SF: Bryan K. Anderson, Edward V. Anderson, Sandra S. Fujiyama N.VA: Lawrence W. Collins, David Dolkas CHI: Hugh A. Abrams, Richard A. Cederoth, Maureen S. Loftus ATL: Brian W. Napper, Nagendra (Nick) Setty, Mitchell G. Stockwell NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: Scott B. Familant, Denise L. Loring 4:00 Ethical Issues in Patent Litigation Attorneys face ethical issues at many stages of patent litigation, beginning with Rule 11 issues in determining whether to even file a complaint for infringement. Ethical issues frequently arise during discovery, and ethical considerations are also a factor in determining the limits of zealous advocacy as in the Medtronic cases. The USPTO ethical rules are also addressed in this session. SF: John Steele N.VA: Gary M. Hoffman CHI: Ralph J. Gabric ATL: David McGowan NYC, MECH, PHI, PITT & WEB: C.
