2023 Case Law Year in Review

  • Registration Closed

It seems like every court and tribunal was active in altering the intellectual property landscape in 2023. The Supreme Court left its mark in patents, trademarks, and copyright in four important decisions. The Federal Circuit issued any number of informative and at times controversial opinions. The PTAB and TTAB were busy beavers and let’s not forget the regional circuits and their impact on trademarks and copyrights. Our panelists will attempt to distill down the past year’s major decisions and discuss the ones that will affect IP practitioners in 2024 and beyond.
