Are you an inventor or new to Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB or Board) proceedings? Join us to learn more about all aspects of ex parte appeals, America Invents Act (AIA) proceedings, and PTAB operations.
Each Inventor Hour webinar covers the basics about some aspect of an ex parte appeal or an AIA proceeding. Sessions feature useful and interesting information, such as practice tips, case studies, and Board history. The webinars also introduce an administrative patent judge or a PTAB staff member, so you can learn more about the Board’s decision-makers and those working behind the scenes. In short, Inventor Hour webinars offer something for everyone!
Episode 2 will cover these topics:
