Abstract
The patent law landscape evolves at an accelerating pace, making it a challenge for patent law experts to navigate the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) minefield every year. Some of the most anticipated developments this year include: final rules on allocation of burdens, motions to amend, all claims and challenges, and elimination of the presumption favoring petitioners; activity on discretion to institute; issuance of the indefiniteness guidance memorandum; key cases from the Federal Circuit and Supreme Court; and the pending Arthrex case.
