Intellectual Property Exhibit FAQ
What exhibits are most common in IP litigation?
Patent filings, prior art references, claim charts, infringement evidence, licensing agreements, and expert reports are frequently used in intellectual property disputes.
How should I organize prior art exhibits?
Group chronologically by publication date. Include a cover sheet for each reference summarizing its relevance. Stamp sequentially and create a prior art index.
Can I stamp technical diagrams and patent drawings?
Yes! Position stamps in margins or corners to avoid obscuring technical details. ExhibitPrep's drag-and-drop placement helps you find the perfect spot.
How do I handle claim charts as exhibits?
Stamp claim charts as single exhibits. If charts span multiple pages, ensure sequential page numbering. Consider landscape orientation for wide charts.
What about source code exhibits?
Convert code to PDF format, then stamp. For lengthy code, consider excerpts with line number references. Position stamps to avoid obscuring code content.
