On September 16, 2012 the Patent Trial and Appeal Board will begin considering petitions for inter partes review and post-grant review of covered business method (“CBM”) patents – proceedings established by the America Invents Act. Later, the PTAB also will consider petitions for post-grant review without limitation to any specific claimed subject matter. However, petitions for post-grant review of patents other than CBM patents are not expected for some time, as they only apply to patents that claim, or at one time claimed, priority to an application having a priority date on or after March 16, 2013. In other words, only patents issuing sometime after March 16, 2013 are eligible. Thus, the primary focus of the webinar will be on inter partes reviews and post-grant reviews of CBM patents but also will contrast these proceedings with those proposed for post-grant reviews generally.

The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office (“PTO”) has proposed regulations to implement post-grant patent practice before the PTAB and has published a “Practice Guide” to help understand and to supplement the proposed regulations. The webinar will explain how the proposed regulations are expected to implement the relevant statutes and what challenges they may present.

Finally, the webinar will identify some strategic considerations to contemplate before filing a petition for inter partes or post-grant review and during the proceeding, if one is instituted.

Nancy J. Linck, a member at Rothwell, Figg, Ernst & Manbeck PC, specializes in intellectual property law, particularly in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical areas. She has a wide range of experience in private and corporate practice, including consulting and litigation at both trial and appellate levels and inter partes matters before the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, she has served as an expert in numerous patent cases and as an arbitrator. She has training as a mediator and is a mediator on the Federal Circuit Appellate Mediation Program and on the WIPO Arbitration and Mediation Center’s list of experts, mediators and arbitrators.
