The National Academy of Continuing Legal Education is a New Jersey Accredited CLE Provider.
New Jersey attorneys are required to take 24 credit hours every 2 years including 5 credit hours of Ethics and Professionalism, with a minimum of 2 credits of Diversity, Inclusion, and Elimination of Bias.
New Jersey attorneys can earn all 24 CLE credit hours with us including 5 credit hours of Ethics and Professionalism with a minimum of 2 credit hours of Diversity, Inclusion, and Elimination of Bias using our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.
*CLE Rule Update: The New Jersey CLE Board has revoked the Covid exception and reinstated the Live CLE requirement in NJ effective 1/1/2024. Additionally, NJ has amended the CLE Regulations with BCLE Reg. 103:1(n) and expanded the definition of Live Instruction. Our Live Interactive webinars meet this definition of Live CLE in NJ. Therefore all NJ attorneys can satisfy their entire requirement with our DVDs, Audio CDs, USB Stick, Online, iOS/Android App, and Live Webinar courses.
Live Exemption: NJ rule 201:8(a) states that attorneys who reside in, work in, and are licensed in a mandatory CLE jurisdiction that does not require Live CLE are also exempt from Live CLE for NJ. These attorneys can take all 24 credits of their requirement with on-demand courses.

About This Course
Anybody can draft and file a lawsuit. There are so many templates on the Internet or
available from multiple sources, such as form books and treatises that With a little care and
attention, most anyone can craft and file a brief for copyright infringement or trademark
infringement or patent infringement
Indeed, the entertainment industry is flooded with screenwriters and actors who with a
little self-help procured from online sources or from a quick trip to a bookstore, file lawsuits of
all shapes and sizes against studios and distributors claiming infringement or breach of contract.
Most of these lawsuits get dismissed or are settled out for nuisance value. It is the rare plaintiff
who without counsel is able to carefully and articulately set forth comprehensive claims for
copyright infringement or infringements of related products and services such as trademarks,
patents and trade secrets.
Thus attorneys who choose to go into IP litigation have an opportunity to do more than
just file another lawsuit. The average lifespan of a federal IP lawsuit is over three years and
often closer to five. Thus it doesn't take a lot of creativity to put together a lawsuit and start
down the road of slugging it out in discovery and depositions and pretrial motions.
Real victories in the IP arena come from incredible preparation and using what I call
guerrilla tactics to go in fast and quick and with overwhelming force and take out the opposition
so that a settlement is quickly achieved. While the military metaphors and adjectives you've just
read may seem a bit hyperbolic, it is not very far from the truth.
Therefore, today's podcast or webinar is designed to introduce you to the kinds of
litigation tactics that when properly crafted and focused, can bring a plaintiff quick victory at a
far more reasonable cost than traditional litigation that ultimately will make you feel like you are
on Napoleon's retreat from Moscow.
IP litigation can be extremely exciting, and it is definitely not for the faint of heart.
Moreover, it is not a bunch of paper pushing and form documents. Care and attention to detail
and strategic thinking with close client cooperation are required in order to avoid the lawn war
of attrition that frequently accompanies most litigation.
Thus the focus of today's presentation will be on employing and deploying those fully approved but not fully understood litigation tactics that level the playing field so that even solo
practitioners can take out the 500 firm Goliath. In particular we will be looking at what are
viewed as provisional remedies or equitable remedies. Thus we will be focusing in on temporary
restraining orders, preliminary injunctions, and even prejudgment writ of attachments. We will
also look at how each one of these tactics can be used for each form of intellectual property:
copyrights, patents, trademarks, and trade secrets. Or any combination thereof. New paragraph
so get out your pens or your laptops and get ready for what I like to call the using the dark side
of the force namely the dark side of litigation to bring justice and victory to your deserving
clients.
