Austin Location Presented with The University of Texas School of Law
Why You Should AttendPost-grant patent proceedings were pursued in record numbers at the USPTO in 2012. The substantial costs anduncertainty of patent litigation require the development of alternative case management strategies, which at leastrequire consideration of challenging patents at the USPTO. To this end, patent reexamination remains a viablealternative to costly litigation or a parallel path to enhance litigation positions. Yet due to the public outcry foreven more robust USPTO post-issuance proceedings, the America Invents Act (AIA) introduced entirely newoptions such as Post-Grant Review, Inter Partes Review (which replaced inter partes patent reexamination),Derivation Proceedings, and a special post-grant review for Covered Business Method patents. Going forward into 2013,it is anticipated that the USPTO will become an even more prominent battleground for patent disputes.
Potential benefits of post-grant patent challenges to defendants include:• Provide an opportunity to stay a concurrent litigation• Provide a low-cost alternative to district court and/or ITC litigation• Facilitate settlement on terms favorable to the defendant• Create an intervening rights defense• Create additional file history that provides new non-infringement and/or estoppel theories• Demonstrate objective evidence of a lack of willfulness• Lessen the probability of injunctive relief• Demonstrate the “but for” materiality of references applied in an inequitable
conduct defense• Undermine or prevent damage verdicts with a USPTO invalidity ruling• Provide an additional basis on which to obtain a stay of judgment pending appeal
The program is taught by a faculty of judges, preeminent lawyers, and industry leaders who have earned nationalreputations in patent litigation and in post-grant proceedings at the USPTO.
What You Will LearnThe program focuses on the role of post-grant USPTO proceedings as a component of a litigation strategy, including pretrial and post-trial options. Although the course will focus on strategic considerations, procedural traps for theunwary will also be identified. The relative advantages and disadvantages of the various proceedings are explainedfrom the perspectives of both the Patentee and the Third Party. Perspectives of the judiciary are presented, includingcase studies of well-known disputes. Insight to the organization, operation and procedures of the USPTO’s PatentTrial and Appeal Board, Central Reexamination Unit, and Office of Patent Legal Administration will be discussed.
Who Should AttendPatent owners and investors involved in patent litigation or considering the initiation of patent litigation; corporate counsel responsible for managing a patent portfolio and responding to third-party inquiries; patent litigators advising clients in disputes that involve or may lead to litigation; advisors, owners, and analystsinvolved in patent licensing, valuation, sale, or monetization; and patent professionals representing others beforethe USPTO in the areas of post-grant patent practice.

Post-Grant Proceedings Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board
Oblon Spivak
The America Invents Act created the Patent Trial and Appeal Board, which will preside overvarious new proceedings designed to provide parties with a more effective venue in which tolitigate patent validity. The most commonly used procedure will be Inter Partes Review, whicheffectively replaced Inter Partes Reexamination in September 2012.
Post-Grant Proceedings Before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board guides readersthrough the process of initiating a post-grant proceeding, taking discovery, seeking sanctions,proposing and opposing claim amendments, effectively advocating at the oral hearing,appealing to the Federal Circuit, and handling a wide array of issues involving co-pendingdistrict court litigation.
