LAW 7206 - Trials at the Patent Office


Credits: 2

Provides an advanced look into the adversarial proceedings conducted before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) at the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. Focuses on the practical aspects of inter partes review (IPR), post-grant review (PGR), and covered business method (CBM) review, and examines the strategies and interplay of these proceedings with patent litigation in federal courts. Students conduct a case study of an actual IPR from initial filing to the Federal Circuit, review PTAB rules and orders, draft pleadings, conduct mock oral hearings, and analyze the groundbreaking (and often contradictory) rulings in this relatively new area of law.
