• Seventy percent stop here• Settlement/License deals• Shrinking Timelines• Common defenses
Two Cases – One Goal
• Novartis Case– Section 3(d)– Imatinib Masylate
• Micromax Case– Patents in wireless standards– FRAND licensing terms
• Similarities • Differences
Litigation Strategy
• Primary Business Objective• Attack/Defend• Extrinsic Factors
– Nature of Party– Venue– Litigation Team– International Developments
• Intrinsic Factors– History– Field– Pre-suit Records
