6 PTAB Issues That Came To A Head In 2019
Fish Principals Dorothy Whelan and David Holt were quoted in "6 PTAB Issues That Came To A Head In 2019" in Law360. In it, they discuss critical developments of the PTAB in 2019.
Summary:
"2019 marked a big year for the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, starting with the board’s precedent-setting panel issuing its first-ever decisions and ending with the Federal Circuit calling PTAB judicial appointments into question.
The board spent the year pulling together cohesive precedent, launching a program to offer feedback on amended patents and extending when judges can use their discretion to deny patent challenges, among other key decisions and policy changes."
