The impact of the America Invents Act is still being felt today after more than five years have passed since it was signed into law. In this inaugural episode, Nathan S. Smith discusses some of the strategic considerations of a key component of the AIA – inter partes review (IPR) proceedings – with Kenneth C. Cheney, who works in post-issuance patent challenges before the United States Patent and Trademark Office’s Patent Trial & Appeal Board (PTAB). Barrington E. Dyer will also summarize recent decisions by the PTAB and Federal Circuit that continue to shape these proceedings. Finally, Sarah Bro will share some of the recent IP headlines from across the world.
