Prepared by members of Kaye Scholer's nationally recognized patent litigation group, PTAB Monitor: Developments in Inter Partes Review Practice provides parties and practitioners with timely insights for successfully invalidating or defending a patent before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB).
The report features the following four articles for effectively navigating the IPR process and other AIA proceedings:
- The Federal Circuit Adopts a Redundancy Exception to Estoppel Following Inter Partes Review
- Winning It on Appeal: How to Avoid Remand and Reverse the Board's Validity Determination at the Federal Circuit
- Parallel Track Proceedings: Determining Whether to Stay Litigation
- Making the Most of Limited Discovery Before the PTAB
Kaye Scholer has been at the leading edge of contested Patent Office post-grant practice since its inception. In 2012, we filed four of the very first IPRs challenging the validity of four patents. In early November 2015, we secured a first-in-kind decision in the Federal Circuit, reversing the Board's finding that certain claims were not unpatentable. On a continual basis, we are actively involved on behalf of our clients with PTAB proceedings, as well as in parallel cases at the district court level.
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.
