You’ve Discovered a University Patent is Being Infringed. Now What?

Discovering that your university’s valuable intellectual property is being infringed upon is startling to say the least. But before jumping head-first into a contentious legal battle that can sap your budget and potentially tarnish your reputation, it’s wise to take a step back and evaluate the situation as a whole.

Can the cost of going to court — which can run $1 million a month and up to $30 million — be justified by the value of the IP or the flagrant nature of the infraction? What is the relationship between parties? Is the infringer a research partner? How will a lawsuit look in the eyes of the public and potential future partners? And are there ways to fund the litigation and reduce your risk, as well as the time spent on preparation? Is there a path to a negotiated resolution?

It’s a sticky but relatively common situation, and it’s not to be taken lightly. That’s why we’ve secured two experts to bring you this critical 90-minute program.

Join Sandra L. Haberny, PhD., Partner with Quinn Emanuel, and Andrew J. Bramhall, Partner with Quinn Emanuel, as they discuss special considerations from the university’s perspective.
