PTAB Strategies and Insights – October 2018

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:

• Dupont v Synvina: Burden Can Shift To Patent Owner At The PTAB And Petitioner Must Meet Threshold To Have Standing To Appeal
• November 13th PTAB change to Phillip’s standard for claim construction
• PTAB changes to SOP1 (Assignment of Judges) and SOP2 (Precedential and Informative Decisions)

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.
