Amendments to the Rules of Practice for Trials Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board; Correction

الملخص

The United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office) published a final rule in the Federal Register on April 1, 2016, revising the rules related to trial practice for inter partes review, post-grant review, the transitional program for covered business method patents, and derivation proceedings that implemented provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act ("AIA") providing for trials before the Office. This document corrects an error in that final rule.
