There are significant changes being made in patent law, disrupting things.  Join LES USA-Canada for a timely webinar examining the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Notice of Proposed Rulemaking (NPRM) titled “Revision to Rules of Practice Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board,” which proposes significant changes to how inter partes review (IPR) petitions are instituted.

This session will present arguments from both sides while covering how the proposed rules aim to curb serial and duplicative challenges, shift institution discretion, and bolster patent­holder certainty, while also covering concerns about limiting access to review and adverse impacts on operating companies. With the official public comment deadline passed and the comments all in, this webinar aims to provide informative insight about the rules and who commented.

Don’t miss this chance to hear competing views on one of the most consequential patent-policy debates of the year.
