Directors Jackie Bonilla, Ph.D., David Holman, Ph.D., and Steven Pappas presented the 2025 PTAB Year in Review webinar. In 2025, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) experienced significant procedural and substantive changes. Under new leadership at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO), a series of developments reshaped pre-institution practice, shifted institution authority to the USPTO Director, and prompted broad proposed rule changes for inter partes review (IPR) proceedings.

Our program recapped the year’s most impactful PTAB developments and offered updated analysis and practical takeaways for both patent owners and petitioners. The speakers also previewed what to expect in 2026 and how the developments of 2025 may shape post-grant practice going forward.
