On Sept. 26, Bloomberg BNA's Patent, Trademark & Copyright Journal published an article titled "Taking Stock After the AIA's Second Year of Post-Grant Trials," by intellectual property litigation partner Steven Baughman (Washington, D.C.). The article is the third installment in a series by Ropes & Gray on Patent Trial and Appeal Board-related topics. Mr. Baughman is chairman of the firm's post-grant Patent Office invalidity trial practice, and is counsel of record in more covered business method (CBM) review proceedings than any other lawyer or law firm, including all four CBM proceedings filed on Sept. 16, 2012, the first day that CBM review became available.

The content of this article is intended to provide a general guide to the subject matter. Specialist advice should be sought about your specific circumstances.
