Updates and Current Considerations in Patent Trial and Appeal Board Practice
This program will discuss the implications of COVID-19 on post-grant trials and highlight recent developments at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Panel members will discuss strategies for handling post-grant trials during the pandemic, including navigating scheduling issues, remote depositions, and video-based oral hearings. The panel will also assess the PTAB’s evolving case law on discretionary denials at the institution stage, particularly in view of parallel proceedings. The PTAB’s latest proposed rule changes and key practice issues on the horizon will also be discussed.
