`
`Costs/ USPTO Patent Challenges
`
`A rough ballpark estimate of the costs of an inter partes
`review is approximately $300K to $600K. That is by no
`means cheap, but may still be considered a bargain
`compared to the costs of defending a patent
`infringement litigation in federal court which could easily
`reach $1-4 million or more. If an IPR is instituted, USPTO
`fees alone start at $23,000.
`
`In view of these six-figure costs, it makes a great deal of
`sense to invest in thorough prior art searching.
`
`Federal court judges have generally been favorable to
`staying, or suspending, a pending patent lawsuit to wait
`for the outcome an IPR which concludes within 1 year
`from the date of institution. Therefore, patent
`infringement defendants can defer hefty litigation costs,
`particularly those associated with litigation discovery,
`while contesting the validity of the patent-in-suit before
`the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) at the USPTO.
