PTAB Strategies and Insights – January 2020

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 you will find three articles covering:

• A discussion of the chaos that has emerged at both the PTAB and the Federal Circuit in the wake of the Federal Circuit’s decision in Arthrex and the Supreme Court’s refusal to pick-up any of the cases that could help clarify its Alice decision;
• A review of Personal Audio v. CBS Corp. in which the Federal Circuit upheld a district court dismissal of a jury verdict because the patent was later invalidated at the PTAB;
• A preview and link to our appellate practice’s annual round-up of the most important PTAB cases decided on appeal at the Federal Circuit.

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.
