Guests Frank Bruno and Bill Kennedy, along with myself, discuss the benefits of patenting innovations that were specifically created to increase product safety. Not only can these patents provide the documentation necessary to defend against litigation, but they can also be sufficient in deterring litigation altogether.

Frank A. Bruno is a partner at White and Williams in Philadelphia and chair of the Intellectual Property Practice Group. He is a technology lawyer who focuses on patent law.

William D. Kennedy is a partner at White and Williams. He is a trial and appellate litigator and defends companies against complex claims of injury and damage.
