Event Synopsis:
In November 2017, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) issued a revised Standard Operating Procedure 9 (SOP 9), which explains the procedures that will be used to address the conduct of cases remanded from the Federal Circuit, including decisions resulting from IPR, PGR, and CBM review, as well as ex parte prosecution and reexamination proceedings. The revised SOP 9 provides valuable guidance to the parties, the public, and the PTAB on how remand proceedings should be handled.

In a live Webcast, a panel of thought leaders and practitioners assembled by The Knowledge Group will discuss the significance of PTAB's new standard operating procedure on remand proceedings and how it will affect remand cases.

Key topics include:
· Understanding the Standard Operating Procedure 9
· Timeline for Issuing Decisions on Remand
· Responsibilities of Parties Involved in Remand Decision
· Default Procedures for Common Remand Scenarios
· Implications to Current Remand Cases
