Winning AIA Trials: How Patent Owners Can Leverage the Current Pro-Patent Environment

Winning AIA Trials: How Patent Owners Can Leverage the Current Pro-Patent Environment

View Session Speakers

For the first time in years, the PTAB winds are blowing squarely in favor of patent owners—and smart teams are capitalizing. This session cuts to the chase on how to leverage today’s pro-patent environment to win AIA trials outright or shut them down before they start. From aggressive discretionary-denial practice to a more receptive Board on merits, the landscape has shifted, and the advantages are real.

We will break down the levers that matter most: Fintiv-based arguments with teeth, exploiting parallel-proceeding posture, maximizing evidentiary asymmetries, leveraging the Office’s renewed focus on fairness and balance, how to argue and win on settled expectations, and what the emerging “one-and-done” petitioning push means and how it might be strategically used by patent owners.

If you’re looking for a playbook on how to protect and defend your patents—and squeeze petitioners in a system increasingly hostile to patent challenges—this panel delivers the strategic clarity and execution-ready intel you need.
