As I mentioned last month, the University of
Texas School of Law will be hosting Part 2 of the Conference on Patent Damages
("PatDam 2") on February 17-18, 2017 in Austin. (Part 1 was
held in June 2016. Here is a link to the webpage from which you can
download the papers from that conference.) Information on PatDam 2 is
available from the Review of Litigation's website, here;
below is the schedule as of January 24, 2017. I'm certainly
looking forward to the conference; as you can see below, I'll be commenting on
a paper on enhanced damages.
