The
Intellectual Property Owners Association (IPO) will offer a one-hour webinar
entitled "Inter Partes Review: A 6-Month
Check-up" on April 4, 2013 beginning at 2:00 pm (ET). A panel consisting of Jason Mudd of Erise IP,
Matthew Smith of Foley & Lardner LLP, and Jeanne Suchodolski of Intellectual Ventures will analyze
the Patent Trial and Appeals Board (PTAB) decisions since inter partes review (IPR) proceedings became available on
September 16, 2012, and rely on their own experience to discuss:
•
How to get an IPR petition accepted?
•
Pro hac vice rulings;
•
Whether the patent owner should file a preliminary response to the petition
seeking an IPR;
•
The contours of discovery at the PTAB;
•
Protective order concerns;
•
The interplay between IPR proceedings and parallel co-pending district court
litigation; and
•
How in-house counsel can best manage the IPR process.
The registration fee for the webinar is $120 (government and academic rates are available upon request). Those interested in registering for the webinar can do so here.
