John Dragseth Quoted in Law360 article "Lawyers Weigh In On High Court Claim Construction Ruling"

John Dragseth was quoted in Law360‘s “Lawyers Weigh In On High Court Construction Ruling” article. This article discusses the recent U.S. Supreme Court decision in Teva Pharmaceuticals v. Sandoz. Dragseth said: “I will be interested to see how district courts and litigants respond to Teva. District courts can perform claim construction many ways, and some judges might realize they can insulate their rulings from reversal by making explicit findings on extrinsic evidence especially from experts. Savvy parties will try to help district courts along that route at least if they think the court is leaning their way which may raise the cost of Markman proceedings, with more expert witness preparation and involvement. Another key question is whether Teva will further drive down an already low reversal rate for Patent Office appeals."
