Join Sterne Kessler for the next installment of our series, “Navigating the New PTAB Playing Field.” This month’s program will discuss recent developments at the PTAB and Federal Circuit that may have important implications for post-grant strategy and practice.

Topics will include:

  • Recent precedential and informative PTAB decisions related to the Director’s institution discretion and framework.
  • Sua sponte Director review after trial, including recent matters involving real-party-in-interest issues, Sotera stipulation compliance, and institution-stage reconsideration.
  • Claim construction trends, including the PTAB’s treatment of inconsistent positions and other recent developments.
  • Recent Federal Circuit decisions concerning the reviewability of PTAB-related issues.
  • Potential Supreme Court activity, including certiorari petitions involving the scope of the Section 314(d) appeal bar.

Attendees will gain practical insights into the evolving PTAB landscape and key considerations for developing and adapting effective post-grant strategies.

Designed for in-house counsel and corporate executives, these sessions will provide timely updates on the latest developments at the PTAB, including key statistics, recent trends, and strategic insights on discretionary denial decisions. To help shape the discussion, attendees are encouraged to submit questions in advance on the webinar registration page or by sending us an email. Questions will also be accepted during the live event.
