160+ Petitions on File in First 6 Months
Yesterday, at the Practicing Law Institute’s USPTO Post Grant Trials- 2013 [1], the USPTO provided an update on the demand for the post grant patentability trials introduced by the America Invents Act this past September. (AIA). As shown in the slide below, the demand has been quite substantial, especially on the electrical/software side. This is not surprising considering the typical patent troll case [2] is also in these same arts.
[3]The remaining stops for the PLI program include:
- Mar. 27, 2013 New York, NY [4] (webcast)
- Apr. 15, 2013 San Francisco, CA [5]
- Apr. 29, 2013 Austin, TX [6]
The programs coincide with the release of the new treatise entitled Post Grant Proceedings Before the Patent Trial & Appeal Board [7].
