IPO hosts "IP Litigation Finance & Disclosure" Webinar, September 21

Join Unified’s GC, Jonathan Stroud, and others on Thursday, September 21st, on IPO’s IP Chat Channel. Litigation funding and prevailing secondaries markets have quickly come to undergird huge swaths of U.S. civil litigation today. This is particularly true in U.S. patent litigation, although financing efforts surrounding patents are not exclusively limited to enforcement efforts. Indeed, studies show that up to a third of all modern patent litigation is now funded, making patent litigation the highest-growth area in litigation funding. Some argue that litigation funding has enabled small players and individual inventors to realize the value of their intellectual property holdings. Others have raised concerns about the impact of funding on litigation, pointing especially to a lack of transparency in litigation financing. This webinar will explore this burgeoning field from a variety of angles, including objective facts relating to funders and their cases, insurance and lending efforts, as well as perspectives of investors, defendants, and other market participants. Bringing together these diverse perspectives will help attendees better understand this significant new development in patent litigation and IP monetization.

Speakers:

Craig Thompson — General Manager & COO, Unified Consulting

The 5G SEP self-declared landscape has exploded over the past 2 years. The number of self-declared 5G SEP families has grown 275% since 5G Release 15 was frozen mid-2019. Meanwhile, the number of technical contributions to the 5G standard has grown only 40% during the same time frame. Craig Thompson, Unified Consulting's General Manager, and Matthias Schneider, Audi's Chief Licensing Officer, interpret the latest 5G SEP self-declaration data and explore the relationship between 5G standard technical contributions and 5G SEP self-declarations.

For over two decades, a substantial portion of US patent litigation involves non-practicing entities. Changes in the law and practice regarding NPE litigation during this time has led to developing strategies for litigants on both sides. This webinar explores those trends as well as how current practices should evolve in view of the shifts in the law and in the types of entities asserting patents today.
