Dear Friends,

Please consider sponsoring The 2019 Sedona Conference on Global Aspects of Patent Litigation to be held on November 19-20, 2019 at the historic Carton House estate in County Kildare, Ireland, just outside of Dublin. We will have capacity for 100 people (including faculty). For program page, please click here. For a working agenda, please click here.

We will be announcing the opening of registration in late February / early March. If you want your organization to be listed as a sponsor in this announcement, please let us know immediately.

The cost of sponsorship is $5,000 and includes the following benefits:

• One complimentary registration to the conference (up to a $1,395 value);
• Sponsorship listing on:
  • the special signage created for the conference
  • the program page of the Sedona website with a click-thru to your website; and
  • the conference materials; the listing will display your logo followed by a ¼ to ½ page write-up (between 125 and 250 words) describing your firm or company and your particular services that you want to emphasize to conference attendees
• our sincere thank you and recognition from the podium at the conference

Most importantly, your organization will be associated with this non-partisan, consensus effort to move the patent law forward in a reasoned and just way.

As markets and technologies grow increasingly interconnected around the world, patent litigants, both owners and defendants, are re-orienting their litigation strategies to reflect global realities. At the same time, changes in the legal landscape, in the U.S., Europe and Asia, are giving rise to both new risks of and new opportunities for patent litigation. Rapidly evolving case law, new guidelines from national competition authorities and other institutions, and legislative initiatives constantly shape and re-shape the ever more complex framework for both plaintiffs and defendants.

Our co-chairs and a distinguished faculty of judges, government officials, and counsel from around the world will lead the dialogue on topics identifying and explaining wide range of issues arising in international patent litigation, and comparative approaches across different international patent jurisdictions. This Conference will continue the in-depth dialogue from our 2017 Conference on Patent Litigation: Global Strategies for Managing Both Multifront Domestic and International Litigation of IP Assets and our 2018 Conference on International Patent Litigation: Aspirations Toward Attaining Effective Global IP Protection, and also from The Sedona Conference’s extensive Working Group 9 and 10 (patent litigation) commentary drafting team efforts over the past five+ years which have been focused on the U.S. patent litigation space and are now expanding to a global perspective.

The Sedona Conference (TSC) is a nonpartisan, nonprofit research and educational institute dedicated to the advanced study of law and policy in the areas of antitrust law, complex litigation, and intellectual property rights.

The Sedona Conference Working Group Series was launched in 2002 and represents the evolution of The Sedona Conference from a forum for advanced dialogue to an open think-tank confronting some of the most challenging issues faced by our legal system today. The first Working Group (WG1) launched in 2002, and was dedicated to the development of guidelines for electronic document retention and production. Its first publication - The Sedona Principles Best Practices Recommendations and Principles Addressing Electronic Document Production - was cited in a report on Electronic Discovery by the United States Judicial Conference Advisory Committee on Civil Rules less than a month after publication of the first draft, and was cited in a seminal e-discovery decision in the Southern District of New York less than a month after that.

The Sedona Conference’s Working Group 10 on Patent Litigation Best Practices (WG10) and Working Group 9 on Patent Damages and Remedies (WG9) have published numerous consensus, non-partisan documents over the past five+ years, collectively designed to move the law and practice of patent litigation forward in a reasoned and just way. Each publication reflects the collective wisdom and experience of members of all stakeholders in the patent litigation system, including the judiciary, the plaintiff and defense bars, patent prosecutors, and in-house counsel representing various industries.
