About This Course

Intellectual property litigation can be a daunting field, but it doesn't have to be overwhelming. This CLE course is designed to guide you through the fast-paced world of IP litigation and teach you how to navigate its complexities effectively. While many believe that filing a lawsuit is simple—thanks to countless templates and resources available online—the real challenge is crafting a winning strategy that leads to swift resolution, avoiding the prolonged and expensive battles that often characterize IP litigation.

We start by debunking the misconception that anyone can draft and file a lawsuit successfully. While some claimants in the entertainment industry attempt to do so on their own, often inspired by screenwriters and actors filing lawsuits for copyright or trademark infringement, these cases typically get dismissed or settled for nominal amounts. The key to successful litigation lies in a meticulously planned strategy, comprehensive legal understanding, and a thorough approach to preparation.

This course focuses on providing the tools and tactics needed to achieve quick victories in IP litigation. We discuss essential strategies such as temporary restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and prejudgment writs of attachment, illustrating how these legal instruments can be deployed to level the playing field, even against much larger adversaries. You will learn to employ these tactics effectively across various types of intellectual property, including copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets.

Throughout the course, you will explore "guerrilla" tactics designed to secure fast settlements and avoid lengthy legal battles. We will demonstrate how to use these approaches to strike quickly, leverage your position, and bring about favorable outcomes for your clients. By the end of the course, you'll have a deeper understanding of what it takes to achieve success in IP litigation without falling into the trap of long-term "war of attrition" cases.

Get ready to dive into the "dark side" of litigation, where creative strategy and tactical planning are your strongest allies. Grab your pens and laptops—this is not just about paperwork and templates; it's about taking on the Goliaths with confidence and winning.
