Mike Rueckheim Discusses Patent Office’s New Denial Process FAQ with Law360
Winston & Strawn partner Mike Rueckheim was quoted in a Law360 article discussing the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office’s recently released answers to frequently asked questions about its new patent challenge denial process for post-grant (IPR/PGR) challenges. The USPTO recently established guidance and a bifurcated briefing process in which the Director, working alongside Patent Trial and Appeal Board judges, will decide whether each petition challenging a patent warrants discretionary denial. The board will consider the merits of the petition’s invalidity arguments only if it is not denied for discretionary reasons.
