Understanding the IP Litigation Process

IP litigation can be a lengthy and multifaceted process. Below is an overview of key stages involved and typical timelines for resolution.

Case Evaluation and Filing

The process begins with an in-depth analysis of the IP and the claims involved. Attorneys assess evidence, identify potential defenses, and recommend legal courses of action. Once the groundwork is complete, the litigation begins with the filing of a complaint or a response to one.

Discovery Phase

Both parties gather evidence, exchange documents, and obtain witness depositions during discovery. This stage is essential for building a solid case and can take several months depending on the complexity of the issues.

Pre-Trial Motions and Negotiations

Many IP disputes are resolved through settlement negotiations or alternative dispute resolution methods like mediation. Pre-trial motions may also be filed to narrow claims or dismiss certain arguments before trial.

Trial and Resolution

If a case proceeds to trial, it typically includes presenting evidence, examining witnesses, and making legal arguments. IP trial timelines vary, but cases often resolve within 12-24 months of filing, depending on complexity. Resolutions for disputes involving settlement typically occur faster.

Statute of Limitations for IP Cases in New Jersey

Understanding time constraints is critical when pursuing IP litigation. Statutes of limitation vary based on the type of claim:

Trademark and Copyright: Claims generally must be filed within three years of the infringement.
Patents: The statute of limitations for damages is six years.

Missing these deadlines can forfeit your ability to pursue legal remedies, so timely action is essential.
