Economists, legal scholars and policy makers are concerned about the impact of patent litigation on the rate and direction of US innovation and on the functioning of the US intellectual property system. At this time, however, there is no reliable, comprehensive, free and publicly accessible source of patent litigation data. As a first step towards overcoming this limitation, the Office of the Chief Economist (OCE) at the United States Patent and Trademark Office, in collaboration with the National Technical Information Service, undertook a patent litigation data pilot. This paper describes two patent litigation databases from which OCE generated comprehensive patent litigation datasets as a result of the pilot and is releasing for public use. First, we obtained the docket reports on the universe of patent litigation cases in PACER and RECAP and created a dataset for the period 1963-2015. Second, we captured the metadata for these cases, which includes information on the case identifier, parties involved, filing date, and district court location. We hope that free access to comprehensive data will help advance research on the evolving patent litigation landscape and its economic impact.

Enforceability of patent rights is the backbone of the patent system. We review differences in the way patent litigation systems are designed across jurisdictions. We also discuss challenges in collecting and accessing patent litigation data as well as their economic analysis. We provide some descriptive analysis of patent litigation in the U.S. and UK for the period 2010-2016 and 2007-2013, respectively. We also analyze administrative post-grant validity challenges in form of the inter partes review in the U.S. and oppositions at the EPO.

The Model Rules of Professional Conduct provides an up-to-date resource for information on legal ethics. Federal, state and local courts in all jurisdictions look to the Rules for guidance in solving lawyer malpractice cases, disciplinary actions, disqualification issues, sanctions questions and much more. In this volume, black-letter Rules of Professional Conduct are followed by numbered Comments that explain each Rule's purpose and provide suggestions for its practical application. The Rules will help you identify proper conduct in a variety of given situations, review those instances where discretionary action is possible, and define the nature of the relationship between you and your clients, colleagues and the courts.
