2d Edition of Ethical Issues in Patent Litigation now available!

Woo hoo!  You have no idea how much work it is to create something like this.  Very proud of the second edition and a huge thanks to the good folks at Oxford University Press, and then LexisNexis, for making it happen.  Buy (many copies of) it here.  The abstract:

Patent Ethics: Litigation (2014 Edition) by David Hricik, is a unique guide to the ethical issues arising in the course of the patent litigation process. By providing relevant rules and case law, it allows practitioners to identify ethical problems before they arise and to address them most effectively when they do. This treatise and its companion volume (Patent Ethics: Prosecution, by David Hricik and Mercedes Meyer) are the first of its kind to combine rules and patent-specific cases with author commentary, which distills the author’s experience and expertise into effective practice strategies. The 2014 Edition has been completely revised and includes discussion of ethical issues arising under new AIA post-grant proceedings, including prosecution bars. It also includes new chapters on ethical issues in alternative fee agreements and in settlement agreements, and expanded chapters on selection, compensation, and use of expert witnesses.
