Finnegan’s At the PTAB Blog regularly provides the latest updates, analysis, and statistics as it relates to U.S. patent practice before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) and the Federal Circuit.
Recent statistics show that the Federal Circuit reviewed more than 1,100 appeals from the PTAB and affirmed the board 73.2% of the time. Finnegan partner Daniel Klodowski told Law360 that, “It is interesting that the Federal Circuit's affirmance rate in PTAB appeals has increased slightly in the past 10 months while the rate of summary affirmances continued to slightly decrease over time. But the court's affirmance rate appears generally in line with long-term trends, and we have not seen a significant departure in cumulative affirmance rates.”
