NEXT WEEK ON THE IP CHAT CHANNEL™: ANTI-SUIT INJUNCTIONS IN INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY LITIGATION
Join the IP Chat Channel™ on Tuesday, July 14 at 1:00pm ET for a webinar on anti-suit injunctions in intellectual property litigation. The panel STEVE AKERLEY (InterDigital), TOM BROWN (Dell Technologies), JORGE CONTRERAS (Univ. of Utah), and J. KARL GROSS (Leydig, Voit & Mayer, Ltd.) will discuss anti-suit injunctions in intellectual property litigation including how they relate to Standard Essential Patents and FRAND licensing negotiations. Anti-suit injunctions are becoming increasingly relevant in disputes with international contexts and several recent cases have addressed use of anti-suit injunctions to enjoin parties from proceeding with parallel litigation in different forums. The panel will review the historical foundation and development of anti-suit injunctions, analyze recent cases, and discuss elements counsel should consider in matters that could or do involve anti-suit injunctions.
IP Chat Channel™ webinars are free for IPO members. Advance registration is required. CLE offered in most states.
JOIN THE SOFTWARE RELATED INVENTIONS COMMITTEE
Software patent practice sits at the intersection of technology, litigation, and rapidly evolving legal doctrine that IPO’s Software Related Inventions Committee is tackling it head-on. In 2026, the committee is:
- Delivering a resource on practical AI tools through a joint task force with the Artificial Intelligence, Data & New Emerging Technologies Committee;
- Authoring a paper on software-based medical devices at the ITC;
- Tracking Section 101 case law regarding software-based inventions; and
- Analyzing PTAB decisions on Section 112 enablement and functional claiming post-Amgen.
If software patents are central to your work (including patenting AI-related inventions), this committee offers deep engagement with the issues that matter most. Apply to the Software Related Inventions Committee today at www.ipo.org/joinacommittee.
