A Deep Dive into Preparing Winning IPR/PGR/CBM Petitions. Original air date 6/2/16.
Inter partes proceedings at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) are an incredibly popular and effective means of testing the patentability of issued patents. These proceedings hinge almost entirely on arguments made and evidence presented in a single document, the petition. Drawing on a wealth of experience preparing and litigating
inter partes reviews (IPRs), post-grant reviews (PGRs), and covered business method post-grant reviews (CBMs), the panel will discuss how to find the best prior art, select and retain the best expert, select the best grounds, and prepare the best possible petition for a proceeding. Join us for valuable practice tips on the substance, procedure, and economics of preparing PTAB petitions. Speakers:
John Baird of Duane Morris;
James Stein of Finnegan; and
Jonathan Stroud of Unified Patents.
