Webinar: Patent Certainty or Serial Challenges: The USPTO Challenging the Status Quo
There
are significant changes being made in patent law, disrupting things.
Join us for a timely webinar examining the United States Patent and
Trademark Office’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Revision
to Rules of Practice Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board,” which
proposes significant changes to how inter partes review (IPR) petitions
are instituted. This session will present arguments from both sides
while covering how the proposed rules aim to curb serial and duplicative
challenges, shift institution discretion, and bolster patentholder
certainty, while also covering concerns about limiting access to review
and adverse impacts on operating companies. With the official public
comment deadline passed and the comments all in, this webinar aims to
provide informative insight about the rules and who commented. Don’t
miss this chance to hear competing views on one of the most
consequential patent-policy debates of the year.
