Watch Replay and Access Slides

The law surrounding validity, infringement, claim construction, and damages in the design patent context is notably less developed than in the utility patent context. Nevertheless, courts have fashioned a robust body of case law to guide their decisions in these disputes. Just as patent prosecution strategy is shaped by the unique characteristics of design patents, owners of such patents must also consider unique issues when preparing for and engaging in litigation.
