Event Synopsis:
Earlier this year, the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) released its long-awaited package of rules to govern and to make targeted modifications for America Invents Act (AIA) trial practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). The new rules will allow patent owners to submit an expert declaration with the preliminary response and also allow petitioners to seek leave to file a reply to the preliminary response. The rules also allow a party to request district court-type claim constructions for a patent if the party certifies that it will expire within 18 months of the Notice of Filing Date Accorded. The final rules took effect last May 2, 2016 and will apply to all future and ongoing PTAB proceedings.
While it will take time to see the impact of these rules on PTAB practices, patent owners are expected to immediately start submitting expert rebuttal declarations with their preliminary responses. In this two-hour LIVE Webcast, a panel of key thought leaders and professionals assembled by The Knowledge Group will offer a discussion for patent prosecuting and litigating attorneys and patent agents on the best practices and strategies for patent application preparation and prosecution, as well as a review of recent developments in the PTAB Patent Proceedings. The panel will also discuss issues involving patent owner preliminary response, amendments, depositions, objections to evidence, and will provide a roadmap in handling multiple proceedings at the PTAB and district court and when to take certain actions.
Key topics will include:
• Inter Partes Review
• Post-Grant Review
• Best practices for patentees
• Best practices for third parties
• Post-Grant Practice Since PTAB
• Best Practices in Adapting to PTAB Challenges
• Up-to-the-Minute Regulatory Updates
