Master the evolving landscape of Director control, IPR survival, and the new interim institution process.
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) faces a transformative era driven by shifting policies on discretionary denials, enhanced Director review frameworks, and evolving standards for Inter Partes Review (IPR) survival. Patent counsel must constantly adjust administrative post-grant strategies to navigate these complex USPTO mechanics and protect vital intellectual property assets.
In this CLE webinar, Sergey Vernyuk, Partner at Emerson Thomson Bennett, details the modern PTAB landscape, focusing on discretionary denial trends and the expanding boundaries of Director control. Attendees will gain actionable legal insights required to maximize administrative success and insulate corporate portfolios from invalidation.
