2024 PTAB Year in Review (Part One)

The PTAB continues to play a pivotal role in shaping the intellectual property landscape, with several important developments in 2024—from new USPTO rulemaking to significant Director Review decisions.

Join us for a two-part webinar series where our speakers will explore key developments in PTAB practice and their broader implications for patent owners and challengers.

In part one of our PTAB Year in Review, Richard Bemben, Jennifer Chagnon, and Jason Fitzsimmons will focus on key case highlights and important statistics from the past year. Other topics include:

• Examining the latest USPTO rulemaking efforts at the PTAB, including newly codified procedures like the Director Review process;
• Developments in prior art eligibility under § 102;
• Proper scope of reply briefing; and
• Developments in IPR estoppel as applied to product art.

We will apply for CLE credit for this webinar. Live attendees will be able to provide their state and bar number information at the conclusion of the webinar.
