Boardside Chat Focuses on Multiple Petition Outcomes

This coming Thursday, December 10th, from noon to 1 p.m. ET, the Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB) will offer its next Boardside Chat Webinar to discuss several aspects of PTAB trial proceedings.

Lead Judge Bill Saindon will present the results of the PTAB’s recently updated multiple petitions study. Lead Judges Jessica Kaiser and Michelle Ankenbrand will share preliminary results of the Motion to Amend Pilot Program. Lead Judge Ankenbrand will explain the purpose of two forms available for the public to use in seeking designation of PTAB decisions as precedential or informative and in addressing whether the Precedential Opinion Panel grant or not grant review in a particular case.

The webinar is free and open to all (here). There will be a Q&A session at the end.  Questions may be sent in advance or during the webinar to PTABBoardsideChat@uspto.gov
