The insurance industry is under siege from patent infringement lawsuits. It started with patent troll suits; now, Intellectual Ventures has begun to target insurers across all business lines. No insurer is safe from being on the receiving end of a patent lawsuit. These suits are not simply nuisance suits but claim extraordinary amounts and go beyond a typical patent troll case. Join Sidley Austin partners on Wednesday, March 4, to hear about current trends in patent litigation and the threats they pose to the insurance industry.
During this hour-long webinar you will learn:
