What’s Working at the PTAB Now: Strategies for Petitioners and Patent Owners

Join us for a practical, strategy focused webinar on navigating post grant challenges before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Using recent case studies from both post grant review (PGR) and inter partes review (IPR) proceedings, we will explore what’s working—and what isn’t—for petitioners and patent owners in today’s PTAB landscape. Our discussion will highlight effective approaches to anticipation, obviousness, and § 112 challenges, as well as proven techniques for defending patentability, including the use of objective evidence of nonobviousness. Attendees will gain actionable insights and guidance for building stronger PTAB petitions and more resilient patent owner responses.

Topics to be discussed include:

• Winning Strategies for §§ 102/103 and 112 Challenges: How petitioners are successfully framing prior art and written description arguments—and common pitfalls to avoid
• Defending Patentability: What Works for Patent Owners: Tactics for leveraging the specification, fact and expert testimony, and objective evidence of nonobviousness to withstand PTAB scrutiny
• Practical Guidance from Recent PTAB Decisions: Trends, lessons learned, and real world takeaways to help both petitioners and patent owners craft more persuasive positions
