This fourth annual two-day conference, presented by Law Seminars International, will feature top government regulators, legal practitioners and representatives from companies that deal with standard setting and patent pools. The faculty will give an overview of how standards are agreed upon and how patent pools are formed to license the patents necessary to practice these standards. The program will also address the antitrust hurdles that patent pools must clear. Real-world examples involving the recent DC Circuit decision in Rambus, the FTC N Data case, other Rambus related litigation, the Broadcom v. Qualcomm case, recent DOJ business review letters, among others, will be reviewed.

WilmerHale Partner William Kolasky will be a featured speaker at this event. He will speak on the topic of, "Closing Arguments: A Mock Trial of FTC v. N Data and the Scope of Licensing Obligations and the Application of These Rules to Non-Practicing Entities" from a FTC perspective.
