Original air date:  11/29/18. Changing Claim Construction Standards at the PTAB: What You Need to Know
As of November 13, 2018, the USPTO’s Patent Trial and Appeal Board will construe patent claims consistent with the standard applied in federal district courts and the International Trade Commission.  This panel will discuss what practitioners need to know about this much anticipated change and its impact on AIA trial proceedings and parallel federal court cases.  The panelists will address claim construction from the petitioner and patent owner perspectives, and will cover issues including the new standard and making your record, managing parallel proceedings and timing issues, issue preclusion and other estoppel considerations.
