Josh Goldberg, Cory Bell, and Kevin Rodkey on the Supreme Court's Decision in SAS Institute v. Iancu

May 2, 2018

By Joshua L. Goldberg; Cory C. Bell; Kevin D. Rodkey

In SAS Institute v. Iancu, the Supreme Court addressed the question of, “[w]hen the Patent Office initiates an inter partes review, must it resolve all of the claims in the case, or may it choose to limit its review to only some of them?” The Court found that, contrary to the prior USPTO practice, the Board may not limit institution to only some of the challenged claims. Finnegan attorneys Joshua Goldberg, Kevin Rodkey, and Cory Bell join us now to discuss what happens now.
