A Look at Twenty Seven Months of Inter Partes Review Proceedings Before the United States Patent and Trademark Office.

9/16/2012 to 12/16/2014

Welcome to Harness Dickey’s Report on Litigation Practice before the United States Patent Office. Created by the America Invents Act, Inter Partes Review proceedings have already changed the face of patent litigation. Lower cost, lower burden of proof to invalidate, broader claim scope, among other advantages to patent challengers, means that there may be no greater opportunity and true reform to come from the America Invents Act than these post-grant proceedings. Our periodic Report will provide insight based on the over 100 characteristics of these proceedings that we are tracking. Our analysis can also be followed at IPR-PGR.com.
