What is the Patent Trial and Appeal Board

The Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB) is a administrative body within the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that hears and decides on a variety of patent-related matters. These include:

  • Inter partes review (IPR): A procedure in which a third party can challenge the validity of a granted patent
  • Post grant review (PGR): A procedure in which a third party can challenge the validity of a granted patent within nine months of the patent grant
  • Covered business method review (CBM): A procedure in which a third party can challenge the validity of a granted patent that claims a method or corresponding apparatus for performing data processing or other operations used in the practice, administration, or management of a financial product or service
  • Derivation proceedings: A procedure in which an applicant can challenge another applicant’s right to a patent based on an allegation that the other applicant derived the claimed invention from the first applicant
  • Appeal from a decision by an Examiner in a patent application

The PTAB conducts trials in an adversarial manner, with each side presenting its arguments and evidence to a panel of administrative patent judges (APJs). The APJs then make a decision based on the information presented.

Benefits of PTAB

One of the primary benefits of the PTAB is that it provides a faster and less expensive alternative to litigation in federal court for resolving disputes over patent validity. It also helps to ensure that only valid patents are granted and maintained, which can promote innovation and competition.

In a trial at the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (PTAB), the parties have the opportunity to present their arguments and evidence in writing and through oral proceedings.

Written proceedings at the PTAB typically begin with the filing of a petition, which is a document that explains why the patent at issue is believed to be invalid. The patent owner then has the opportunity to file a response, in which they can provide arguments and evidence as to why the patent is valid. The petitioner may also have the opportunity to file a reply, which is a response to the patent owner’s response.

The written proceedings may also include the submission of supporting evidence, such as expert declarations, prior art references, and other documents that help to support the parties’ arguments.

In addition to written proceedings, parties may also have the opportunity to present their case orally at a hearing before a panel of administrative patent judges (APJs). The hearing is typically a one-day event, during which each side is given the opportunity to present their case, ask questions of the other side’s witnesses, and make closing arguments.

The APJs will then consider all of the evidence and arguments presented, both in writing and at the hearing, before making a decision in the case
