A PTAB Judge’s Perspective

View Session Speakers

This panel will provide insights from Administrative Patent Judges at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board. While patent attorneys may believe their approaches are best practices and highly persuasive, the real question is whether the PTAB Judges agree. What do the Judges consider most effective and convincing in written submissions and oral arguments? What do they find least helpful, and why? The panel will also offer an update on the latest developments and key happenings at the PTAB.

PLEASE NOTE: This panel will be an off-the-record conversation. We will not be recording this panel, or broadcasting it after the program.
