Venue Decisions and Trends Post-TC Heartland

Hosts

Recent cases have shaped the venue requirement in patent lawsuits following the monumentalTC Heartlanddecision. Intellectual property litigators Bob Oakes and Martina Tyreus Hufnal led a complimentary CLE webinar to address the impact of these decisions on patent litigation filings.

Some of the important issues affecting venue selection today:

  • Timing and burden of proof for establishing venue
  • Standard for determining whether a litigant has a regular and established place of business
  • How the act of infringement requirement has been interpreted prospectively for purposes of establishing venue in cases brought under the Hatch-Waxman Act

This webinar is useful for lawyers seeking a deeper understanding of recent developments in venue law and have questions about where they can bring suit in this changing landscape.
