Litigating Patent Infringement Cases in the Rocket Docket of the Eastern District of Virginia
Two of our bloggers, Dabney Carr and Robert Angle, have published an article this month in the Intellectual Property & Technology Law Journal titled “Litigating Patent Infringement Cases in the ‘Rocket Docket’ of the Eastern District of Virginia.” The article can be found here.
Among other topics, the article delves into pretrial scheduling, discovery, claim construction, motions practice and trial practice in all three divisions of the EDVA. We hope that you find it a helpful and useful guide for litigating in the “Rocket Docket.”
There were several issues that space did not allow us to address in the article to the depth we would like, including specific advice for both patentees and accused infringers. We plan to have an ongoing series of posts on the blog on these individual topics, so stay tuned.
