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

Краткое содержание

This proposed rule would amend the existing consolidated set of rules relating to the United States Patent and Trademark Office (Office or USPTO) trial practice for inter partes review ("IPR"), post-grant review ("PGR"), the transitional program for covered business method patents ("CBM"), and derivation proceedings that implemented provisions of the Leahy-Smith America Invents Act ("AIA") providing for trials before the Office.
