The Federal Circuit Bar Association (FCBA) will be offering a program entitled "From Chevron to Cuozzo: Practical Impacts of Administrative Law on PTO Proceedings" on December 6, 2016 from 1:00 to 2:00 pm (ET) at the Northeastern University School of Law in Boston, MA. Andrew M. Mason of Klarquist Sparkman LLP will moderate a panel consisting of Lucas C. Townsend of Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher and Philip Warrick, Office of the Solicitor, U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. The panel will focus on the practical consequences of the requirements of the Administrative Procedure Act ("APA") and administrative law, generally, in PTO proceedings, including examination, reexamination, appeals, and PTAB trials such as inter partes review. The panel will also provide an overview of the APA-PTO intersection, discuss how leading administrative law decisions affect PTO proceedings, and cover strategic considerations relating to APA challenges.
