11 BREAKOUT SESSION 3B PATENT TRACK Reverberations of EchoStar: Does It Still Make Sense to Rely on an Opinion of Counsel? The Federal Circuit s decision in In re EchoStar last May held that uncommunicated work product need not be disclosed when an infringement defendant invokes reliance on an opinion of counsel in response to a charge of willfulness, unless it reflects a client communication. EchoStar seems, however, to have raised a number of unanswered questions about the scope of the waiver of privilege, spawning a number of district court decisions and at least two writ petitions seeking appellate review, In re Seagate Technology, LLC and In re CA, Inc. The cases reflect a clash between the demand for full discovery into the state of mind of the defendant, and preservation of the attorney-client privilege as it relates to trial strategy and litigation advice. Join a distinguished district court judge, a leading IP academic, and lawyers in the current cases on review at the Federal Circuit as they analyze the state of the law on the scope of waiver in the wake of EchoStar, address its implications for companies facing willful infringement charges, and consider possible solutions to the problems involved in the assertion and defense of claims of willfulness.
