Event Synopsis:
In its four years of existence, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has become the primary venue for disputing and deciding U.S. patent validity. Based on outcome statistics, it is frequently viewed as hostile to patents and patent owners – but will the statistical trends continue? Because parties who desire to challenge patents turn to the PTAB so frequently, PTAB filings and outcomes have become a primary focus of patent enforcement efforts, and PTAB activity is often a driver of patent licensing and settlements.
The PTAB’s legal landscape is highly dynamic. The PTAB itself frequently considers novel issues of first impression, and will implement major rules revisions this year. PTAB appeals now comprise the majority of the Federal Circuit’s patent docket; and the U.S. Supreme Court is set to decide its first PTAB appeal during the 2016 term – a case that could dramatically reshape PTAB practice.
As these trends continue in 2016, counsel must understand not only the rapidly evolving legal landscape, but also the Patent Owner and Petitioner strategies that flow from the legal rules. PTAB practitioners should also take note of the strategic leverage points during these proceedings to create settlement and licensing opportunities.
In this two-hour live webcast, a panel of distinguished professionals and thought leaders assembled by The Knowledge Group will provide an overview of the latest trends on the continuously evolving landscape of PTAB Trial Practice. Drawing from their own deep experience with PTAB trials, the panel will discuss the most recent legal developments in PTAB practice along with strategic best practices for PTAB practitioners.
Key topics include:
2016 PTAB and Patent Litigation Statistics and Trends
Recent Legal Developments
U.S. Supreme Court
Federal Circuit
PTAB Significant Decisions and Rule Amendments
Patent Owner and Petitioner Perspectives on Evolving PTAB Practices
Strategic Best Practices for PTAB Practitioners
Leveraging the PTAB for Licensing and Settlement
