Five years of experience has provided the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) with an opportunity to refine its procedures, meaning that best practices have emerged for those challenging or defending patents in post-grant patent proceedings at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. However, rule changes, policy shifts, and major judicial decisions continue to disrupt the PTAB landscape and practitioners before the Board need to remain current and informed of these developments. In this latest quarterly installment, we provide information covering the latest shifts and updates as well as suggestions on how to improve your PTAB strategy in this changing landscape.

Educational Objectives:

  • How recent PTAB (precedential and others), District Court, Federal Circuit, and even Supreme Court decisions impact your practice and your business advice
  • Understand how Post Grant proceedings are changing litigation and licensing strategies
  • Provide a distilled, useful, and memorable analysis of the 2016 developments at the PTAB

Who would benefit most from attending this program?

Individuals who use the PTAB’s post-grant proceedings as a way to protect or defend against patent interests.
