New tool available to help appellants prepare ex parte appeal briefs

In celebration of National Inventors Month, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) has released a new tool to help inventors, pro se appellants, new practitioners, and those interested in learning more about the PTAB file an ex parte appeal brief.

The new appeal brief tool has two parts:

• A Word document template that serves as the starting point for your brief; and
• A PDF that provides general guidance on the various sections in the template.

Find these documents on the Preparing an ex parte appeal brief page on the USPTO website.

The PTAB will discuss this new appeal brief tool at its next Boardside Chat webinar on Thursday, May 13, from noon to 1 p.m. ET. This webinar is free and available to all. Webinar access information is available on the PTAB Boardside Chat page of the USPTO website. Captioning service will be provided and advance registration is available.
