Karen Boyd will be moderating a panel on reexaminations at the 12th Annual Silicon Valley Advanced Patent Law Institute, being held December 8-9 at the Silicon Valley Four Seasons. Ms. Boyd is a regular speaker at this conference, and has been on its planning committee from its early years. The panel, entitled “Reexamining Reexamination: Past, Present, and Future” includes panelists who are prosecutors, litigators, and in-house attorneys. The panel will address how reexaminations have changed over the last decade, and what the future looks like for post-grant review and the new reexamination guidelines.
Each year, the Silicon Valley Advanced Patent Law Institute brings together hundreds of IP lawyers and judges from across the country. Presented by the Berkeley Center for Law & Technology at UC Berkeley, the Stanford Program in Law, Science & Technology, and the University of Texas School of Law, the conference explores the cutting edge of patent law from a variety of perspectives. Plus you get ethics credit. And lunch.

Turner Boyd is pleased to announce that Anna W. Lam has joined the firm as an associate in our Intellectual Property litigation practice. She joins the firm from Howry LLP’s Silicon Valley office.
“Anna brings a wealth of experience in bioresearch, software and business analysis. We appreciate her personable demeanor and the fresh energy that she brings to her work. The firm is really looking forward to having her on board,” said co-founding Partner Karen Boyd.
Lam earned her J.D. from the Santa Clara University School of Law, where she was a member of the Honors Moot Court team and recipient of the Best Oral Argument award in Appellate Advocacy. She received her B.A. in Molecular and Cell Biology, with a minor in English, from the University of California at Berkeley. She is a member of the California Bar Association and is a registered Patent Attorney with the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
The firm was gratified to learn that all three of our partners — Karen Boyd, Josh Masur, and Julie Turner — were named to the 2011 Northern California “Super Lawyers” list for Intellectual Property Litigation.
There are many reasons why parties choose arbitration instead of litigation. But one of them — the fact that the proceedings and awards are private, outside the public eye — makes it a lot harder for attorneys to talk about our arbitration successes. So you have our apologies in advance for needing to mute the toot of our own horn.
