As a result of the Supreme Court’s decision in SAS Institute Inc. v. Iancu, the PTAB will no longer grant partial institutions of PTAB petitions.  In other words, either all or none of the claims sought for review will be reviewed in the proceeding. This substantial change to PTAB practice greatly impacts the strategy of Petitioners in making petitions and Patent Owners in responding.  Please join our distinguished panel of PTAB practitioners and jurists as they discuss:

• From a petitioner’s perspective, how many and what grounds to include in a petition 
• From a patent owner’s perspective, if and how to respond to a petition and what to include in a preliminary patent owner response
• From the bench’s perspective, what the PTAB would like to see going forward in Petitions and Patent Owner Preliminary Responses and other post-SAS guidance.
