    Event Synopsis:
    The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) continues to evolve at a fast pace. The recent SAS Institute v. Iancu ruling and the proposed shift to the Phillips claim construction standard for PTAB trials are patent law developments that seem to make PTAB as the most probable forum for deciding patent validity and claim construction. Notable PTAB decisions that have been designated by the Board as informative include Colas Sols. Inc. v. Blacklidge Emulsions, Inc., Ex parte Ditzik, and Argentum Pharm. LLC v. Alcon Research, Ltd.

    As the new Director of the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) commits to bring further change to the PTAB practice, the Supreme Court is also considering the same. With changes expected on the horizon, new case management strategies must be enacted.
