Principal Kristi Sawert Shares PTAB Best Practices

On the AccelPro IP Law podcast, Principal Kristi Sawert, a former Patent Trial and Appeal Board judge, shared valuable insights on succeeding at the PTAB. Her advice, drawn from her extensive career, included focusing on the merits of a case, clear writing, effective use of expert declarations, and thorough preparation. 

Excerpt: “I would really advise that you need to keep up with what's going on at the PTAB. That means reading the decisions as they come out, keeping up on any changes and practices, keeping up with rulemaking and so on. If you can do that, then I feel like you would be very successful at the PTAB.”
