Patent Trial and Appeal Board
The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) conducts trials, including inter partes, post-grant, and covered business method patent reviews and derivation proceedings, hears appeals from adverse examiner decisions in patent applications and reexamination proceedings, and renders decisions in interferences.
Until further notice, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board will not be holding live in-person hearings. The Board will contact individual parties about arranging for telephonic or audiovisual hearings during this time period.
