We now have four years of experience with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s post-issuance procedures that were introduced by the America Invents Act. We also have Federal Circuit and Supreme Court review of some of the 1,500+ decisions issued on inter partes review (IPR) and covered business method patent proceedings. This is a perfect time for a comprehensive review, since all involved are becoming comfortable with these procedures.

Please join us for a discussion with speakers who have been collectively involved in more than 150 post-issuance procedures, including an author of The Practitioner’s Guide to Trials Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, as they share their experience on IPRs and offer advice on strategies that have proven to be successful and those that have not.

Who should attend:

General counsel and in-house patent counsel with responsibility for/interest in protecting or defending against a company’s intellectual property. The audience should have a basic understanding of post-issuance procedures. We recommend attendees review https://www.uspto.gov/patent/laws-and-regulations/america-invents-act-aia/inter-partes-disputes or http://www.aiablog.com/to-do-list-filing-an-ipr/ to refresh themselves on the fundamentals of these procedures.
