In the four and a half years since the America Invents Act (AIA) was signed into law, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has emerged among the most active patent litigation jurisdictions in the United States. In fact, PTAB trials are governed by an intricate web of administrative rules, practice guidelines, and ever-changing decisional law. This inaugural issue of The PTAB Review, authored by attorneys in the post-grant practice at Wilson Sonsini Goodrich & Rosati, closely follows recent developments in PTAB litigation. Given the rapidly evolving nature of this space, the newsletter—which will be published on a periodic basis as important issues arise—aims to provide timely information on key developments in Patent Office litigation, concise summaries of significant rulings and guidelines, and details on relevant patent dispute trends. We hope you find the publication to be a useful, practical resource.
