We held our annual Patent Litigation seminar in March in which five very distinguished speakers discussed diverse and interesting topics in the litigation arena. We hosted two Dinner Series: in April, we hosted Digging Into The Weeds Of The Supreme Court's Funk Brothers Case To Dig Out Of 101 Ineligibility; and in September, we hosted The Power of Silence: Negotiation Table and Courtroom Survival. In June, we awarded the Jefferson Medal to Hon. Gregory M. Sleet (Retired), United States District Judge for the District of Delaware, at the the organization’s 69th Jefferson Medal Dinner.
