Ethics Rules of Privileged Communications in Patent Prosecution and Litigation - Login to join AIPLA's informative upcoming 90-minute ethics CLE program that provides detailed explanations of when attorneys' and non-attorneys' communications with clients in patent matters are privileged and, more importantly, when they are not.
This program provides examples of when an attorney's communications lose the protection of attorney-client privileged communications; and when non-attorney communications can gain such protections.
The materials provided to attendees of this program demonstrate how such protection can turn on venue, language of engagement letters, the purpose of the work performed, etc., and are very informative for attorneys and agents who do not want to inadvertently misstep in this somewhat complex area of the law.
