Since the creation of AIA Trial Proceedings in 2012, parties have filed more than 11,500 petitions to the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”). Today, these proceedings and the PTAB are a significant aspect of every major patent litigation. Yet, the contours of these proceedings continue to change.
MBHB partners James Lovsin and George “Trey” Lyons, III will take a look at these topics and more and the impact they have on AIA Trial Proceedings, including:
- Discretionary Denials: What are Patent Owner strategies for obtaining discretionary denials?
- What are Petitioner strategies for avoiding them?
- Motions to Amend: What benefit (or not) does the Patent Owner get for participating in the motion to amend pilot program?
- Can the Petitioner rely on the PTAB to present its own grounds to oppose the motions to amend?
- What are strategies for § 101 challenges to motions to amend?
- Constitutionality: What are the updates and potential outcomes/impacts from Supreme Court action in Arthrex?
- Appealability: What procedural issues are reviewable after Thryv and Windy City?
