PTAB Trial Conclusion - The Oral Hearing, Final Written Decision, Rehearing and Appeals to the CAFC

Practice before the PTAB, especially effective advocacy, is unique relative to more traditional courtroom practices. The PTAB oral hearing that the end of the trial is akin to an appellate oral argument of one or two hours with live testimony being a rare exception. Appeals from the PTAB are taken to the Court of Appeal for the Federal Circuit (CAFC). The volume of PTAB appeals heading to the Federal Circuit in 2014 will be substantial. Best practices for preparing for oral argument before the PTAB will be presented, as well as developing the record for CAFC review and presenting winning appeals to the CAFC.

Speakers: Erika Harmon Arner, Karl Renner
