What Happens in a Patent Lawsuit?
One of the presentations in the exhibit hall, at the Chiphead Theater, was What Happens in a Patent Lawsuit? which was presented by John Strawn and Tom Millikan. I have written about patents a couple of times on Breakfast Bytes, in Patents and Standards, Managing the Challenge and in Lawyers, Guns, and Money: An Evening with EDAC on Patents. This presentation was not about the process for getting a patent granted, or whether patents for business processes like Amazon's one-click should be granted. It was purely about the process of a patent lawsuit, and what to expect if you get involved in one.
The first presenter was John Strawn, who has been an expert witness many times. The second was Tom Millikan, who is a lawyer. But he is not the usual lawyer, who got a bachelor's degree and immediately went to law school. He worked at Texas Instruments as a chip designer for years, before deciding that being a lawyer was more interesting than designing chips (hard to imagine). So he is obviously pretty technical too.
