Patent Cases Going to Pilot Program
Judges join a pilot program to learn the complexities of patent law
More California judges are joining a pilot program designed to train interested judges in the complexities of patent law, reports the Daily Journal. The goal of the pilot program is to reduce the nation's ever-growing backlog of intellectual property cases, which can be notoriously technical and time-consuming.
From September last year to February, 21 patent cases have been reassigned to four judges in the Central District based in Los Angeles who are in the pilot program. In the Southern District based in San Diego, 20 patent cases have been reassigned to six judges.
