PTAB Proposed Rule Changes – Impact on Parties

This webinar will address the potential impact of the ANPRM on parties to PTAB proceedings, including impacts on smaller entities, on whether and how to collaborate in post-grant proceedings, and on the estoppel effect on related parties. In particular, the panel will explore the proposals regarding: special rules for under-resourced parties and disclosure requirements, a “substantial relationship” test that would trigger discretionary denial, and limitations on who can file a petition.

Moderated by Squire Patton Boggs (US) LLP’s Tamara Fraizer, panelists will include:

• Brent Babcock – Loeb & Loeb
• Marshall Schmitt – Michael Best
• Ashraf Fawzy – Unified Patents
