`Patent Office Trials - Inter Partes Review
`
`The America Invents Act (AIA) did away with inter partes reexamination and created an
` inter partes review (IPR) procedure. While post-grant review provides a petitioner a
` forum to challenge a patent on any basis of patentability, IPRs are limited to
` challenges on the grounds of novelty and non-obviousness based on only patents and
` printed publications. A challenged patent in an IPR is not presumed valid, unlike in
` district court litigation. IPRs are trial-like proceedings conducted in front of a panel of
` administrative patent judges—the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB). Parties may
` collect evidence by deposing experts and inventors, and the parties support their
` cases with oral arguments before the PTAB.
`
`Finnegan attorneys are involved in more than 150 IPRs. Our professionals represent
` clients in a wide range of technologies and industries, from pharmaceutical dosage
` forms to oil processing to the mechanical arts. More than 230 are registered to
` practice before the USPTO, and they have a wealth of experience in all aspects of
` patent office practice. This experience, combined with Finnegan’s extensive litigation
` practice before U.S. district courts and the U.S. International Trade Commission,
` makes the firm particularly well suited for this new PTAB procedure.
