PTAB Procedural Reform Initiative

4/15/2017

 
The United States Patent and Trademark Office announced recently that it is launching an initiative to reform Patent Trail and Appeal Board Rules (PTAB).  The PTAB has been criticized for its high rate of petition institution as well as its high rate of claim invalidation.

Will this reform make the PTAB more friendly to patent owners?
