Join the New York Intellectual Property Law Association (NYIPLA) PTAB Committee on December 6 to discuss several topics during an advanced AIA trial practice session.

In this interactive meeting, USPTO Judges Kevin Cherry and Linda Horner will be joined by former Vice Chief Judge, Senior Legal Advisor to the Director, and current Partner at O'Melveny & Myers Tim Fink and General Counsel at Unified Patents Jonathan Stroud in a panel moderated by PTAB Committee Co-Chair Charles Macedo.  The panel will hold an advanced AIA trial practice session and discuss some of the following important trial topics:

• When to file more than 1 petition against same patent (serial or parallel)
• When to challenge fewer than all claims
• When to file a Sotera stipulation
• When to ask for a Preliminary Reply
• How to navigate co-pending claim construction when filing an IPR
• How to address arguably indefinite claim terms
• When to move to strike for new argument versus letting it play out
• Contents of expert declaration and incorporation by reference
• Reach of estoppel
• When to object to demonstratives

There will be a Q&A session afterward.  This event is free to all NYIPLA members and PTAB Committee members.  1.0 NY/NJ CLE credit will be available for attendees.

Please remember to re-register for the NYIPLA and PTAB Committee if you have not yet done so in the new year.
