<b><i>Practice Tip:</i></b> Starting Medical Device Mass Tort Actions
A medical device case poses numerous pleading problems ( See “Practice Tip: Pleading Medical Device Complaints,” LJN's Product Liability Law and Strategy, August, 2011, http://bit.ly/1OVGLm7); however, before one even reaches the pleading stage there are major hurdles to consider.
If a firm is “lucky” enough to be retained on 100 such cases, the legal triage begins immediately. The major issue facing the plaintiff's lawyer during client intake is to decide which cases to file immediately and which cases can wait. This depends, of course, on the statute of limitations the lawyer determines will be applicable and that is no small task. Ever since Daimler v. Bauman and Goodyear v. Brown were decided by the Supreme Court, jurisdiction over out-of-state manufacturers has become an unstable issue in every case where a plaintiff has been injured by a product designed and manufactured outside of the plaintiff's state of use. (See “Jurisdiction in Product Liability Cases after 2014,” LJN's Product Liability Law and Strategy , March, 2015, http://bit.ly/1FRK1MO).

Protecting Innovation in the Cyber World from Patent Trolls
With trillions of dollars to keep watch over, the last thing we need is the distraction of costly litigation brought on by patent assertion entities (PAEs or "patent trolls"), companies that don't make any products but instead seek royalties by asserting their patents against those who do make products.
