July 10, 2013 Read the article
Litigation partner Lewis Clayton's Intellectual Property Litigation column appeared in the July 10 issue of the New York Law Journal. The article, "Ruling on Patent Reverse Payment Settlements Draws Sharp Dissent," reviews recent patent, copyright and trademark decisions, including three U.S. Supreme Court patent decisions, two of which illustrate the concerns of a majority of the court that patent rights not be used to stifle innovation or competition. Associates Amy Beaux and Rachale Miller assisted in the preparation of this article.
