Cost-Containment Strategies for Patentees in Litigation

This practice note provides guidance for in-house counsel on reducing litigation costs by identifying certain activities that can be moved in-house or steps that can be taken to simplify litigation as early as practicable. We also provide suggestions on how to ensure that you receive early notice of any potential budget adjustments and thereby do not miss opportunities for cost-containment. The note touches on each stage of a case, from the pre-suit investigation through trial.
