Banner Witcoff’s Mercedes Meyer will present during a Strafford live webinar on Thursday, March 12.
The webinar, Section 1498 vs. March-In Rights: Scope, Procedural Mechanisms, Practical Consequences, Litigation Developments, will guide patent counsel on Section 1498 and government intervention in patent rights. The panel will discuss march-in rights and Section 1498, including the practical consequences for patent holders, licensees, and government contractors. The panel will also discuss current litigation developments.
The panel will review these and other key issues:
- Distinguishing march-in rights from Section 1498 with respect to statutory triggers, scope, and remedies
- Evaluating when government authorization and consent may shift patent liability under Section 1498
- Assessing how the loss of injunctions, jury trials, and enhanced damages under §1498 affects patent enforcement and valuation
- Understanding the relevance of current case law to future public health and emergency procurement scenarios
- Identifying practical considerations for patent holders and companies contracting with the government when navigating public-interest pressures and IP risk
