Course Description: 
Spotting conflicts of interest in patent prosecution has long been known to be a difficult issue: subject matter, obligations of confidentiality, as well as client identity can create conflicts. The same difficulties are now arising in patent litigation: a suit against a non-client can, for several reasons, be adverse to a client, and disqualify a firm. This seminar will look at recent cases and authorities expanding the definitions of client loyalty in both patent prosecution and litigation.
