Webinar Materials - The Results Are In: The USPTO’s Request for Comments on Discretionary Denials

Speakers:

Ashraf Fawzy – Legal Head - SEP, Unified Patents

Joshua Landau — Patent Counsel - Computer & Communications Industry Association (CCIA)

Joe Matal — Partner, Haynes and Boone, LLP

We reviewed one of the most closely monitored rule changes in the AIA's history. The USPTO recently issued a request for comments regarding policy-based discretionary denials of PTAB proceedings. Such policy-based discretion included the PTAB's recent rise in considering: (a) parallel litigation (Fintiv Factors/NHK Spring); (b) parallel petitions; and (c) serial petitions when deciding whether to institute. We spoke about the proposed rule, the policy and practical considerations involved, and the competing interests which resulted in over 800 comments being submitted from stakeholders.

Thank you to our panelists for leading a great discussion!
