Litigation Timing
If you're a defendant in a lawsuit,
you may have no control over when the lawsuit is filed. And
many lawsuits proceed upon a pace set by the court, with most
intellectual property lawsuits taking two to three years between
filing of the complaint and trial. In between, there are many
things that can be done to influence the timing of lawsuit events.
We've been involved in cases that go from service of the complaint
to trial within eight months. We've also obtained stays of
lawsuits to have patents reexamined in the United States Patent and
Trademark Office, when a slower schedule favored our client.
Experience, before the Patent and Trademark Office, before the
courts, and in dealing with opposing parties, is essential to
successfully selecting a course of action. Then execution
takes over - we pride ourselves upon being able to execute swiftly
with highest quality work. But for the best outcome for the
client, that legal experience and execution must be combined with a
real understanding of business strategy. |
