    Separation of enforcement from ownership leaves no leg to stand on
    2007-10-30

    In a case involving a bankruptcy reorganization in which a trustee in bankruptcy was given the right to pursue claims of misappropriation or infringement (but not ownership of the bankrupt’s intellectual property), the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit reversed the district court finding that the no trustee had standing to bring suit.

    Intellectual property in bankruptcy
    2008-06-20

    Intellectual property rights, such as copyrights, trademarks, and patents, are critical to the operation of many businesses. Often the rights to use intellectual property are dependent upon licenses granting a contractual right to the use of the intellectual property. The bankruptcy of an intellectual property licensor can substantially impact the business of the licensee and the continued right to the use of the licensed intellectual property. Similarly, a bankruptcy filing by a licensee may jeopardize important revenue streams, which a licensor of the intellectual property relies upon.
