Sterne Kessler’s Jackie W. Bonilla, Ph.D. spoke at the IPWatchdog LIVE 2026 conference. Jackie served as a panelist during the session “Beyond PTAB Recalibration: The Future of PTAB Decision-Making” on March 24 at 12:15 p.m. EDT.

Featuring former judges from the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), the session offered a candid assessment of how the Board may operate once the current restructuring stabilizes and a new equilibrium emerges. Panelists explored how institution decisions may shift in practice, how merits analysis could evolve, and how internal deliberative dynamics shape outcomes in ways that are often invisible from the outside.
