When a patron claimed to take a bad fall outside the entrance of a major retail establishment, the manager first went to her aid, and then came to us. Risk management planning had ensured there were anti-slip mats at the entrance and a surveillance camera, which captured the staged accident. The fraudulent claim was then denied and referred to the local authorities, protecting the customer from unwarranted losses and potential litigation.

Gray, Foley & Lardner LLP; Docket Navigator ent, “they have somebody buy a couple of them, and then that person becomes the plaintiff,” he said. Daunting damages — or are they? At first blush, false marking suits may seem like a gold mine. But several intellectual property attorneys say that existing case law may make it difficult to recover big damages in court from these suits. A key issue: To recover damages, the plaintiff must prove that the defendant intended to ARNETT deceive the public by falsely marking an item as patented. A case in point: A June decision by the Federal Circuit in a case involving Illinois-based Solo Cup Co., a maker of disposable items like coffee cups and lids with about 1.8 million square feet of manufacturing and distribution space in Dallas and Grand Prairie. The company faced a false marking suit after selling roughly 21 billion prod- ucts marked with one or more expired patents over a 20-year period — leaving Solo Cup exposed to a potential fine of nearly $10.5 trillion. But the Federal Circuit ruled that while Solo Cup knew the items were falsely marked — owing to the expense of replacing molds for making the products — the company hadn’t intended to deceive the public. While plaintiffs face a high hurdle in proving intent to deceive, there are problems for defendants as well in false marking cases. For instance, the Federal Circuit has ruled that if the maker of a widget knew that item was incorrectly marked as being patented, the court will have to presume that the product’s maker intended to deceive the public, accord- ing to Greg Carr, managing partner at Carr LLP, a Dallas boutique law firm that specializes in intellectual prop- erty. The product’s maker “can come back with evidence that they didn’t intend to deceive the public,” Carr said. “But they need more than a mere statement. A mere statement that they didn’t (in- tend to deceive) isn’t sufficient.” For now, there are few court deci- sions governing the kinds of evidence that plaintiffs must show in order to win their cases. Small recoveries thus far To date, there have been only a hand- ful of false marking cases in which plaintiffs have recovered anything. “There haven’t been stunning amounts yet,” with the most being a fine of ap- proximately $220,000, Carr said.

Lasting effects Showalter says he believes the willingness SHOWALTER of Asian companies to pursue patent infringe- ment cases will be more lasting than the qui tam cases that have played a key role in bolstering the fil- ings of patent cases in Texas. Michael Smith, a partner in the Mar- shall office of Siebman, Burg, Phillips & Smith LLP, says the sharp decline in the number of cases filed in the Eastern District before this year can be linked to two factors, including the court’s own reputation. The Eastern District first rose to prominence as a venue of choice for patent cases more than a decade ago when Judge T. John Ward of the Marshall division established rules, expediting such cases to trial. The problem, Smith says, is that so many cases were getting filed in the district Properly secure all cargo. that the process bogged down. “You’re victims of your own suc- cess,” he said. The second factor contributing to the decreased caseload, he said, was a se- ries of decisions in the Federal Circuit Court of Appeals that made it harder for plaintiffs to establish venue in the Marshall courthouse. Other than the surge in false mark- ing cases, Showalter says, the patent law field has been relatively stable in recent years. While the number of cases filed in Texas’ Eastern District dropped for several years, Showalter has not noticed much change from a national perspective. “I think we’ve been just as busy, if not busier than last year,” says Show- alter. “We’re seeing a number of cases being filed outside of the normal hotspots.”

of authors to be identified through ex- pansion of the right of attribution, both of which are relatively uncontroversial. However, some may argue that the rec- ommendations go too far, not far enough or do not even touch upon issues that make the system unwieldy and, to many, nonsensical. Many professors involved in the proj- ect are pushing for greater freedom of personal use of copyrighted materials. Many industries that depend on copy- right protection will, perhaps justly, have issues with this. Industries like film, television, music and publishing have traditionally priced their goods on a per-copy basis. Any change in the law that allows more copying, even for per- sonal use, deprives them of the control of and the opportunity to ask for addi- tional compensation for such copies. Nevertheless, it appears that both sides believe that copyright law can and should be updated. This concerted effort of the CPP toward updating the copyright laws may be a harbinger of an important move- ment. Whether you favor stronger or weaker copyright laws, the debate over how it should change is something in which we should all be involved.

What issue is most commonly pros- ecuted — trademark, copyright or patent — and why? Munck: Numerically, it is likely that more patent applications are filed than trademark or copyright registra- tion applications. In part, because trademark and copyright rights may be acquired through mere use of the trademark or creation of the copy- righted work and are not entirely dependent upon a government grant, as in the case of patents. Another factor is the different pro- tections afforded: trademarks protect consumer recognition and goodwill associated with a mark or trade dress and copyrights protect only against Rare Honor. literal copying, while patents protect duplication of the inventive concept Well Done. independent of copying or intent. Is exploitation of these laws in- creasingly common or less so? Munck: This is difficult to judge because filings are often influenced by the overall economy. The trend con- tinues to remain upward over the past three decades, and as economic condi- tions return to normal, an increase in filings can also be expected.

Why do you think there’s been such a dramatic increase in patent litigation over the past year?

dallasbusinessjournal.com | Dallas Business Journal | October 22-28, 2010 27 Welcome to the new DallasBusinessJournal.com

DallasBusinessJournal.com has been redesigned from the ground up, making it easier to fi nd the news, features and research you rely on to help you grow your business. While there are hundreds of improvements, we know you’ll love the increased back-end performance, streamlined navigation and improved search tools that make fi nding content faster than ever, as well as the new personal user bar that allows you to manage print and online subscriptions, news alerts and event tickets all in one place.

Easy to navigate

Streamlined navigation allows you to fi nd content more easily. Sections have been consolidated and better organized; there are fewer, more relevant industries listed; and popular sections have been expanded.
