Overview

Third party funding of patent litigation has become common, especially in the case of infringement actions brought by non-practicing entities (NPE’s).  Some courts have patent local rules requiring automatic disclosure of certain details of the funding arrangement. In other cases, discovery requests may call for such disclosure.  Third party funded plaintiffs have, in many cases, resisted disclosure, and the proceedings surrounding the call for disclosure have become contentious. We will examine some of these cases and how the courts have dealt with them.

Recorded at the Technology Institute in March 2023.
