What Legal Strategies Are Necessary for Patent Infringement Defense?
Patent infringement defense is the legal framework an accused infringer uses to challenge, invalidate, or limit the scope of a patent holder's infringement claim. An infringer facing a patent claim must evaluate multiple defensive strategies simultaneously, including challenging the patent's validity, narrowing its scope through claim construction, or proving non-infringement through design-around arguments.

Collective bargaining in the private sector is governed by federal law, and the National Labor Relations Act displaces most state regulation of the subject. That preemption is broad. Conduct arguably protected by Section 7 or prohibited by Section 8 falls within the Board's jurisdiction, and state courts generally cannot reach it. Employers who look to New York law for answers on organizing, bargaining, or strike activity are usually looking in the wrong place. Public sector employees are the exception. The NLRA excludes them, and New York's Taylor Law governs instead — with a framework that differs fundamentally, including a prohibition on strikes and penalties for violating it. The duty to bargain reaches specific subjects. Wages, hours, and terms and conditions of employment are mandatory. Refusing to bargain over a mandatory subject, or making a unilateral change to one, is an unfair labor practice regardless of intent. And Board law moves with the Board.
