One particularly confounding factor in deciding whether to file a petition for inter partes review is the breadth of discretion the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) has to deny institution of such petitions, coupled with the statutory prohibition of reviewing those decisions. The PTAB relies on precedential decisions to articulate criteria it applies in exercising its discretion, but the criteria are not exhaustive or unequivocal, which makes it difficult for practitioners to advise clients whether and when to file petitions for review. The United States Patent and Trademark Office recently solicited comments from the public on this issue and may issue rules on the exercise of discretion. This seminar will explore the most recent decisions on discretionary denials and suggest strategies for maximizing the chances of avoiding such denials. It will also explore how this area of patent practice might develop.
