This webinar will address the potential impact on logistics surrounding preparation of petitions, procedural denials of petitions, and settlement of PTAB disputes. The presenters will discuss the following topics:

  • Buying larger word limits: Will this really help petitioners
  • Separate briefing on discretionary denials: Real change, or merely an effective increase in word count for pre-institution briefing
  • Enforced filing of pre-institution settlement agreements: Is this a change, or a reinforcement of status quo?

Moderator:

  • Frank Bernstein, Partner, Squire Patton Boggs (US)

Speakers:

  • David Holt, Principal, Fish & Richardson
  • Jennifer Bush, Associate, Fenwick & West
  • Trenton Ward, Partner, Finnegan, Henderson, Farabow, Garrett & Dunner
