Following a panel discussion on "How to Impress PTAB Judges" at the American Intellectual Property Law Association’s (AIPLA) Annual Meeting, Finnegan attorney Erika H. Arner gave a presentation on recent decisions on PTAB appeals at the Federal Circuit. She noted that there have been 124 Federal Circuit rulings on appeals of final written decision, with an "affirmance rate that is a bit better than it used to be," of 80%. Of those affirmances, about 70% were Rule 36 judgments. She said, "[Rule 36’s] are usually given out about a week from oral argument. That is great if you are on the winning side because it is a quick win." During the presentation, Arner also discussed the Supreme Court’s decision in Cuozzo.
