The goal of the patent system is to encourage innovation by giving inventors the exclusive right to use their creations. But enforcing those rights requires engaging in the sometimes lengthy and complex process of patent litigation, which can be a daunting proposition. This presentation will cover the different stages of U.S. patent litigation—everything from initiating a lawsuit to challenging the outcome on appeal—and will discuss common issues that arise at each stage.  It will also touch on additional considerations and procedures applicable to pharmaceutical patent litigation under the Hatch-Waxman Act.  <br/> <br/>
