Practicing Law Institute

On Monday, March 14, 2016, Principal Karl Renner (DC) is a panelist at the Practicing Law Institute’s USPTO Post-Grant Patent Trials 2016 seminar in New York.

The Art of War: PTAB Trial Mechanics – Discovery, Motion Practice, Amendment | 11:30am

A PTAB trial spans from the end of the preliminary proceeding of an IPR/PGR/CBM until the written decision of the PTAB. During such time "routine" discovery is available and "additional" discovery may be sought. Leading practitioners will explore the unique PTAB discovery standards, practices and pitfalls, as well as common motion practice, observations, and working with the PTAB to resolve disputes. The unique amendment practices of the PTAB will also be explored together with concurrent patent reissue, reexamination joinder and settlement scenarios.

Panelists: 

  • Kevin Jakel
  • Michael A. Morin
  • W. Karl Renner
  • David Schreiber
