Introducing our enforcement session

Friday April 4th // Enforcement topic: Evidence and common sense are needed to determine where the truth lies?

In this session, attendees will gain insight into the evidence required to support legal claims across different jurisdictions, particularly in relation to patent infringement and validity. This will include comparisons between systems such as Germany, where courts rely heavily on written arguments and rarely require expert evidence, and the USA, where expert testimony is critical in almost all trial allegations. Understanding these differences is crucial, as evidence procurement can significantly impact the cost and strategy of IP proceedings.

Joining Julian Crump are our panellists:

????Judge Mr. Young Gi Kim (High Court Judge, IP High Court) (KR) ????Mr. Claus Becker (Partner, Glawe Delfs Moll) (DE) ????Mr. Dominic Adair (Partner, Bristows) (UK) ????Mr. Dong Suk Bae (Intellectual Discovery, Head of IP Biz Division, IP Transaction Project Leader, LG Electronics) (KR) ????Mr. Raja Saliba (Partner, Sughrue Mion) (US)

Key takeaways:

• This session will equip attendees with a clearer understanding of what to anticipate if their clients face or anticipate patent litigation in Europe, the USA, or Korea.
• In many jurisdictions, mere allegations (for example, about the skilled person and their knowledge) are insufficient.
• Success often hinges on carefully framing the skilled person, their general knowledge, and their skillset to support a case.
