Boardside Chat webinar on several recent changes and proposals for AIA trials

We are hosting a special “Boardside Chat” webinar on Wednesday, Nov. 7 from noon to 1 p.m. ET. The webinar is free and open to everyone.

We will discuss a variety of recent changes to procedures, including the process of paneling cases (Standard Operating Procedure 2) and the process for issuing precedential decisions (Standard Operating Procedure 1). We also will address the claim construction standard to be applied in AIA trials, which recently changed from the broadest reasonable interpretation to the standard used in federal courts. Lastly, we will explain proposed changes to motion to amend practice that the agency recently published in the Federal Register. 

Several PTAB judges will present and be available for questions, including: Acting Chief Judge Scott Boalick, Acting Deputy Chief Judge Jackie Bonilla, Vice Chief Judge Tim Fink, and Vice Chief Judge Scott Weidenfeller.

More information, including access information, can be found at the PTAB "Boardside Chat" Webinar Series page on the USPTO website. Questions about any of the above topics can be sent in advance or during the webinar to PTABBoardsideChat@uspto.gov.
