Please join the NYIPLA PTAB Committee on Tuesday, May 20, 2025 at 4:00 p.m. ET via zoom for its May Meeting. At this meeting, we will be discussing "The Director’s Take On Time Bar, Discovery and Prior Claim Construction Decisions in Semiconductor Components v. Greenthread."
Acting Director Stewart continues to use director review to challenge seemingly unfair practices at the PTAB. In Semiconductor Components Industries, LLC v. Greenthread, LLC, IPR 2023-01242, IPR2023-01243, and IPR2023-01244, Paper 94 (PTAB April 24, 2025) (Stewart), the Acting Director issued an Order granting director review, vacating the final written decision (in all three IPRs) and remanding to the Board for further proceedings. Semiconductor Components addresses how time-bar decisions should be addressed at the PTAB, and what discovery should be granted and what claim construction orders from related proceedings can be presented in the briefing process.
In our May 2025 PTAB Committee Meeting, Co-chairs Charley Macedo and Ken Adamo will address this order and its implications on PTAB Practice.
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 to continue to participate at no additional cost in the PTAB Committee CLE program on the third Tuesday of every month, at 4:00 p.m. ET.
