IP Alert: USPTO Posts Proposed New PTAB Rules

August 19, 2015

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) today announced proposed rules relating to the conduct of proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Among other proposed changes, the rules would allow a patent owner to submit evidentiary materials in its preliminary response to a petition to institute inter partes review proceedings. The rules also would require a Rule 11-type certification for all papers filed with the PTAB, with a provision for sanctions for noncompliance.

Fitch Even attorneys are monitoring the progress of the proposed rules and will report further once the rules have been finalized.
