Jury Instructions for Patent Litigation now at lexis.comThe LexisNexis services at lexis.com now include American Intellectual Property Law Association (AIPLA) Model Patent Jury Instructions to assist patent litigators. AIPLA Model Patent Jury Instructions are valuable to these practitioners because they are:
• Pertinent: Issues that arise most often in patent litigation are covered in AIPLA Model Patent Jury Instructions.
• Impartial: AIPLA Model Patent Jury Instructions are not biased in favor of either the patent owner or the accused infringer.
• Focused: Issues covered have clear precedential support. This clarity expedites tailoring the instructions to the particular case.
• Unifying: AIPLA Model Patent Jury Instructions are intended to be used in conjunction with other instructions dealing with non-patent issues. This allows the trial court to expand the jury’s understanding of the legal principles raised in the factual contentions of the parties.
Find AIPLA Model Patent Jury Instructions in a variety of locations throughout lexis.com, including the Patent Law page and the Litigation Practice & Procedure page.
