PTAB Strategies and Insights – January 2019

The PTAB Strategies and Insights newsletter provides timely updates and insights into how best to handle proceedings at the USPTO. It is designed to increase return on investment for all stakeholders looking at the entire patent life cycle in a global portfolio.

This month, we cover three topics:

• A look at the PTAB’s first trial examining a patent involving a cannabis invention;
• A cautionary case study regarding the importance of reviewing notices received from the PTAB in detail;
• A high level review of 2018 trends and statistics for PTAB proceedings.

We welcome feedback and suggestions about this newsletter to ensure we are meeting the needs and expectations of our readers. So if you have topics you wish to see explored within an issue of the newsletter, please reach out to me.
