Happy Birthday to You: The First Year of Contested Proceedings at the USPTO

One year later, the first Covered Business Method Review case has crossed the finish line, hundreds of Inter Partes Reviews are getting up to speed, and the first Post-Grant Review has just come off the starting blocks. In this webinar, we will look back to consider where we are, what has happened, and what strategies can be gleaned for the future. In particular, we will:

• Review the differences between the three proceedings
• Point out trends in the filings to date and lessons learned regarding discovery, court stays of co-pending litigation, and claim construction
• Examine whether the proceedings meet the target timelines
• Discuss tips and traps for those considering or currently involved in the proceedings
