INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY
POST-GRANT PROCEEDINGS BEFORE THE PATENT TRIAL AND APPEAL BOARD
Megan Raymond (Groombridge, Wu, Baughman & Stone LLP)
Created by several accoladed patent practitioners at prominent U.S. patent law practice groups and technology companies, this work introduces patent prosecutors and anyone involved in post-patent-grant disputes to the different strategies and practices involved in managing post- grant patent proceedings before the PTAB. Readers will learn more about the PTAB, created by the AIA to govern disputes of already- granted patents, and the steps required for initiating post-grant proceedings. In the process, they will learn important concepts about IPRs, PGRs, and recommended practices for addressing claim amendments, discovery, oral arguments, appeals to the Federal Circuit, and co-pending district court regulations.

SUBSTANTIAL SIMILARITY IN COPYRIGHT LAW
Robert C. Osterberg (Formerly Senior Partner, Abeles Clark & Osterberg) and Eric C. Osterberg (Osterberg LLC)
The first treatise to discuss the pivotal subject of substantial similarity, this title helps plaintiff and defense attorneys evaluate and advocate copyright infringement claims. Its pages are packed with practice-ready pointers from prominent copyright lawyers. Featuring unparalleled insights not featured elsewhere, this book introduces readers to the substantial similarity tests appellate courts apply circuit-by-circuit. The authors illustrate and explain how substantial similarity tests apply to specific kinds of copyrightable subject matter — from fiction to computer programs, and from sound recordings to architectural works — analysis you cannot find anywhere else. Practitioners will learn how courts address substantial similarity at each stage of litigation from motion practice to trial, when they can leverage expert witnesses to strengthen their claims or discredit those of their adversary. Readers will also learn how to balance qualitative and quantitative analysis in different types of cases. The book includes appendices depicting plaintiffs’ and defendants’ works in litigated cases, followed by excerpts of the court’s analysis of substantial similarity in each case, while highlighting cases involving useful articles, computer games, musical works, photographs, fabric designs, literary works, architectural works, and more. Readers will also find discussion of some of the finer points of substantial similarity analysis, such as:
