Hearings

To listen in on any particular oral hearing, please make a request via email to PTABHearings@uspto.gov at least three business days prior to the oral hearing date. Please include any requests for accommodations for individuals with disabilities, including captioning. The Board will respond to the request, and provide any connection information. Transcripts for each oral hearing will subsequently be entered into the record of the relevant proceeding, and be publicly available in P-TACTS for AIA Trials or in Patent Center, unless an exception applies.

NOTE: Due to last minute cancellations or no shows, there are no guarantees that a hearing on a particular proceeding will occur, although it may be posted.
