Reading list for patent lit
Question for patent litigators:
If you had four months to give yourself a crash course in patent litigation, what would you read?
Assume that you had one survey and one advanced IP course in law school. Every category of content is fair game: cases, treatises, journal articles, local rules, science textbooks, etc.
Thanks!

Re: Reading list for patent lit
Are you asking because you're graduating law school and you're going to start as an associate in the Fall at a firm that does patent litigation? If so, tcr is to enjoy four months of your life not thinking about patent litigation. You'll have plenty of time to figure it out in practice. If, say, you finish the bar exam in late July, and if you start as an associate in mid-October, every hour you spend thinking about law--patent or otherwise--between late July and mid-October is a wasted opportunity.Anonymous User wrote:Question for patent litigators:

Re: Reading list for patent lit
Not OP, but also interested. I'm a rising 2L doing a judicial internship and was just handed a huge patent case. Problem is I have no idea about patent law.rpupkin wrote:Are you asking because you're graduating law school and you're going to start as an associate in the Fall at a firm that does patent litigation?

Re: Reading list for patent lit
Go to your law school and check out a casebook on patent law/ip law. I'm sure they have them on reserve for students.

Re: Reading list for patent lit
Patent lit is an objectively terrible area of law to go into if you don't have a tech background. If you do have a tech background, it might be okay, but there are probably better things you could shoot for.

OK, I'll bite: what area of law is "better" for people with a tech background than patent lit? Besides maybe patent prosecution.

Tech trans. IPRs (if you distinguish this from traditional d. ct. litigation, which I do). Patent pros, licensing, monetizing, etc.orangered wrote:ExBiglawAssociate wrote:Patent lit is an objectively terrible area of law to go into if you don't have a tech background.

The problem with most biglaw patent lit departments is that they only have expertise in d. ct. lit, which has slowed down significantly.
