DC Chapter Upcoming Event

Chapter Homepage

The LES-Greater Washington, DC chapter is pleased to present the following luncheon presentation:

Date:
April 24, 2007

Time:
12:00 - 1:30 p.m.

Speakers:
Edward A. Gold, Ph.D., PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP

Topic:  
Licensing Considerations Post-eBay 

The Supreme Court's ruling in eBay v. MercExchange has changed the landscape in the patent community. Granting permanent injunctions in patent infringement cases is no longer automatic. Ed Gold will first review past trends in patent damages awards and provide interesting findings from PricewaterhouseCoopers' recent extensive study of damages in patent matters.  He will then consider the post-Ebay environment through an examination of recent patent decisions from the point of view of a damages expert.  With these decisions as context, he will explore the economics of demonstrating irreparable harm and consider the implications on licensing and damages of recent decisions in which no injunction was granted.
