`Total PTAB petitions remained flat in FY2020, with 1513 petitions total being filed:
`IPR (1429), PGR (64), and CBM (20), compared to 1464 in FY2019 and 1613
`FY2018, down from 1901 in FY2017. September IPR petition filings were 4th
`highest for the year at 133 (August 155, July 152, March 150).
`
`The institution rate for post-grant challenges in FY 2020 (Oct. 1, 2019 through
`September 30, 2020) finished at 56% (648 instituted, 508 denied) compared to 63%
